INTRODUCTION
The Abbe genealogy, as here piiblished, is the consummation of Professor Cleve-
land Abbe's life-long interest in the history of his family. Before reaching his
twentieth year he began to collect items of interest about his ancestors and the col-
lateral lines, and in spite of more or less interruption he has continued to do so all
througli his busy career. During the early sixties, Mr. William Weaver, who
was then editor of the Willimantic Journal, began the publication of what he
planned to be an exhaustive work on the old families of Windham. After pub-
lication in the Journal he corrected and republished the sketches in pamphlet
form. Mr. Weaver died before his hopes were realized and we have only a small
portion of the work, covering the families alphabetically from " A " to " Bill. ' '
His fragmentary notes on other families have been preserved in the library of
the Connecticut Historical Society where they were deposited as a gift from
his son.
From time to time other members of the family added to the items collected
by or worked up at the suggestion of Professor Abbe. A few years ago, finally
realizing that other matters demanded too much time and that he could not
arrange this material in final form, he turned over all his material to Josephine
Genung Nichols (Mrs. L. Nelson Nichols). She has arranged the data in its
present form, and added to it, as far as practicable, by extensive correspondence,
library research and examinations of the public records at some of the former
homes of the family.
Collaborators. — Most helpful contributions to this work have been made by:
Mr. Charles E. Abbe of Sara Sota, Fla., who left an invaluable collection of
records about the line of Obadiah Abbe, the basis of our history of that branch;
Miss Norah D. Abbe of Elyria, Ohio, and Mrs. John Emerson, on Eleazer and
the Abbe families of Eljrria; Miss Julia Maynard on the Vermont Abbeys and
other New England lines; Mrs. Bronson Post Reynolds, about the Jonathan
Abbey line; Mr. Richard N. Abbey on the soutliern lines; Mrs. D. Stearns
Jamison on the Harris Abbey record and portraits; Mr. Charles T. Hendriek,
whose unflagging interest and remarkable ability has secured materials hitherto
unavailable; Mr. Alden Freeman, whose love for the family is expressed in the
beautiful Thomas Abbey monument just erected on Enfield Green; Mrs. Martha
B. Hanna on the Pease family descended from Mary Abbey; Mrs. Ashbel Welch,
on the Welch family. Lack of space prevents mention of many others who have
also contributed to the work and have cheered the compiler by their kind replies.
We thank you all once more.
A family history is never really complete or entirely satisfactory; but we feel
that we have gone to as much expense as was justified. We have made this
beginning; may others continue the work.
Professor Abbe had hoped to make this genealogA^ no mere list of the members
of the family. He would have it a contribution to the study of heredity, so
has added as much as practicable on the personal characteristics of its members
and has included many available photographs. He believes that the study of
any good clean family will bring out facts just as well wortli following up for
the development of the personality of the nation, as are the facts brought out
by the work of criminologists and social workers in the field of the mentally
deficient, etc., which show the immense value to a countiy, of the study of inherit-
ance of traits that increase state expenses for caring for such defectives.

vi Abbe-Abbey Genealogy
Arrangement. — The general arrangement of the matter is the same as is
commonly used in similar works on genealogy. We have tried to avoid unneces-
sary numbers and to simplify the work as much as possible in order to make it
useful to eveiy one. Few abbreviations are used in addition to b., m., and d., for
born, married, and died, respectively.
Dates. — Among the earlier records will be noted some double dating. Accord-
ing to the old calendar used in England and her colonies up to 1751, the year
began on March 26. In that year England followed the lead set by most European
countries and decreed that after the last day of December, 1751, the 25th day of
March should no longer be reckoned the last day of the year and that the year
1752 should begin on January 1. Accordingly in most dates prior to 1752, we find
the old year continued to March 25 with the new year annexed to it from the
first of January. This was not a uniform practice, however.
Spelling. — The spelling of the name has been a source of perplexity from the
earliest days to the present. Abbe or Abbey have been the favorite forms,
followed by Abby, Abbee, Abbe and other variations usually not authorized by
the bearer of the name. In arranging the data for publication we have made every
effort to follow the usage of each particular family in this matter; there are
many errors no doubt in records sent by someone not wholly familiar with the
usage of the family concerned. In some cases close relatives have used different
spellings, thereby adding to the chance of errors. The records of the Abbay,
Aby, and of a few other families have been added, although we do not know that
they are connected with the family of John Abbe. The name is not a common
one in England or elsewhere. It was probably a name of local derivation,
denoting one who lived at or near an abbey.
The late Dr. Edward Payson Abbe of New Bedford, Mass., believed in his
French origin. He had a coat of arms that belonged to and was used by a French
family in Normandy. This coat of arms is described as : a red eagle with beak
and legs of gold on a shield of silver. In British heraldic works the coat of
arms is given as : gules, five fusils in f esse between three escallops argent. There
are several crests, viz., a cross crosslet azure; an eagle displayed argent between
two cross crosslets or, each wing charged with a cross crosslet gules; an eagle's
head erased proper; a leopard rampant proper. The motto also varies: "Spei
mea coelo, " or " Confido conquesco. ' '
It is possible that some of the Abbes came over from France to England at
an early date; but we have absolutely no evidence that John Abbey was entitled
to use these arms, or that he ever did so.
Migrations. — It is a source of regret that so little is known of the history of
John Abbey before he emigrated to America. The Heralds' College, London,
began a search for such information some time ago, but thus far no results
have been reported. To us it seems likely that he was of or connected with the
Abbey family of Staverton (see page 433).
John Abbe, or Abbey, migrated to America at a time when many of England's
young men were coming to the new colonies either for freedom from religious
persecution, from a love of adventure, or simply from a desire to better their
condition. The brief glimpses into his life and character afforded by colonial
records, suggest that John Abbey was of the first-mentioned class. He was early
a church member and land owner in the New World and his descendants were
active for good in their communities. From the first homes in Salem and Wen-
ham, the three brothers of the second generation went out to new homes in
different sections of Connecticut, Windham, and Enfield, where each family
became prominently identified with the life of their town. As settlements were
extended into the interior, we find the Abbeys going on up the Connecticut valley,
then turning westward with the tide of settlers through central New York, then
Introduction vii
on to Ohio, as that country was opened up, and still later on to Michigan and
eventually across the continent.
Appendix. — Some items of historical interest which it was not desirable to
include in the body of the record but which we are happy to be able to contribute
to the family history, have been placed in the Appendix. On pages 406 to 434
we have concisely arranged practically all collected items that might be of use
to a future historian. Any information serving to complete these items will be
welcome.

ABBE-ABBEY GENEALOGY
IN MEMORY OF
JOHN ABBE AND HIS DESCENDANTS
FIRST GENERATION
1. JOHN^ ABBE, born iu England about 1613; died in Salem, Mass., about
1689-90. The place of birth of John Abbe, the founder of the American Abbe
and Abbey families, is unknown, but every indication points to one of the interior
and central counties of England as the home of the ancestors of the emigrant.
It is not improbable that he was connected with the Abbye family of Staverton,
Northampton. The parish registers of Stoke Bruerne, Northampton, show that
there were many marriages of Abbyes recorded there during the 16th and 17th
centuries.
John Abbe, from the age as given approximately at his death, was born about
1613. The first mention which seems to be of this John Abbe is on a register
of the names "of all y® passengers w*^*^ i^assed from y^ Porte of London for a
whole yeare endinge at X™'*^ 1635 — Those underwritten are to be transported
to Virginia imbarqued in y^ Merch*^ bonaventure James Ricrofte M^' bound
thither have taken y^ oath of allegeance — Jo: Abby -^ go ~~" Although this
statement says bound for Virginia, it is a well-known fact that many of the
early ships destined for Virginia landed many or all of their passengers at
other ports, even in New England, and records of the name of John Abbe
begin in New England about that time. The above Jo: Abby does not appear
in the records of Virginia, nor in the Head Rights for lower Norfolk from
1637 to 1666. The abbreviation Jo: sometimes stood for Joseph, but there are
^ proven instances where it was used for John.
The first reference to the name in the Salem records is on page 11, volume
1, in 1637, or, according to the old method of marking time, 2d of the 11th
month, 1636.
"John Abbie is Reed, ffer Inhabitant & is to haue one acre lott for a house
next beyond the Gunsmiths, and 3 acres of planting ground where the Towne
hath apiDointed beyond Castle hill."
There has existed some confusion regarding the various freemen of the
name Abbey and Alby. Benjamin Albye was admitted freeman, May 18, 1642,
and John Albye in Salem, May 10, 1643. These were, without doubt, the two
Albys, John and Benjamin, mentioned in the early records of Braintree about
this time. Benjamin Alby removed to Mendon and had numerous descendants,
whose names occasionally appear in printed records as Abbey. John Abbey,
sen., of Redding, freeman in 1634, may have been an Alby.
On the 21st, 11th month, 1638, John Abby had a further grant of five acres,
location not specified, but, as on the 15th, 2d month, 1639, this record occurs,
"Granted unto John Abby 5 acres neere to Mr Throgmortons hoggehouse," it
may be that the first was the grant and the second the location. Under date
2 Abbe-Abbey Genealogy
of the 25th, 10th month, 1637, it was agreed 'Hhe marsh and meadow lands
that have formerly been laid in common to this town shall now be appropriated
to the inhabitants of Salem, proportioned out to them according to the heads
of families. To these that have the gi-eatest number an acre thereof, and to
these that have least not above half an acre, and to these that are between both
three quarters of an acre, always provided and it is so agreed, that none shall sell
away their proportions of meadow, more or less, nor lease them out to any
above three years, unless they sell or lease out their houses with their meadow."
Under the above division a list of the inhabitants was taken, and the land
divided. Jo. Abby is named in 1638 as having three in his family, and receives
half an acre.
On the 23d, 11th, 1642, ten acres are granted to John Abby together with
several other ten-acre grants, all to be laid out near to Kings lot. This was on
tlie Beverly side near Bass River, and on the 15th of the 12th month, 1642,
it is voted "ordered that John Abby shall liave 10 acres of land at Enon in
exchange of 10 acres of land bounded out nere Basse River."
The lot near Bass River was afterward granted to Michael Sallows. The
record of the grants to Abbey show that he was of the same standing in the
community as the great majority of the early inhabitants. The grants were
in a great measure made Avith an eye as to the ability of the grantee to develop
the land so granted, small grants to the poorer and larger grants to the richer
sort.
In 1642, Mr. Fiske organized a church at Enon and the following year the
name Enon was changed to Wenham, while a permanent church organization
was effected in 1644.
In 1644, under date of the 13th, 6th month, it was agreed that John Abby
"shall have all that wastground which lyeth between ye end of ye lott which
he lives upon and ye meadow which belongs to ye town, leaving a poles bredth
most convenient for a way." (Wenham town records, Worcester.)
Under date of 1653 is a list of engagements with Goodman Haws about the
mill, and "John Aby gives a day and a half of his labor toward its erection,"
and others contributed in like manner, some also giving tlie use of oxen.
Mr. Fiske left the town in 1655 followed by a number of the church, and in
1657 Mr. Newman was procured as pastor. Under date of November, 1657, in
a total rate of £42, 19, divided among twenty-four persons, of whom five paid a
total of £14, John Abey is assessed £1, 5, which was about the sum paid by
eleven others, but two being less.
In 1659, twenty-seven pay a rate of £46, 2, of whom sixteen pay £1 or a
trifle over. Of these .John Abey pays £1, 5, as before, "in corne or cattle."
In 1660 he was assessed as Goodman Abey at eight shillings toward a new
meeting house or repairing the old one. The new house was built in 1663.
Under date of 6th, 11th month, 1661, John Abbey, Sr., and Edward Waldron
had a town grant of land to be equally divided between them. The use of the
title Senior at this time helps to place the birth of the son John.
In 1663 Goodman Abey, Sr., and John Clarke are chosen to join with the
selectmen to make the minister's rate for the present year.
In 1669 and in 1671 John Abbey appears as constable, an office of great local
power and responsibility.
April 3, 1675, John Abbe deeded 10 acres of land to his son Samuel, Thomas,
John, and Maiy Abbe, being witnesses. John Abbe, sen., was a witness to the
will of Edw<i Walden of Salem, 4th month, 1679.
In 1683, John Abbey, who had been supporting his son Thomas, who lived
with him and cared for him, dismissed Thomas on account of his bad behavior
and called his son John, junior, to take charge of him and his affairs. The son,
John, proceeded early to build a new house, as the old one was unfit to live in.

1615-20, and died in Wenham, Mass., September 6, 1672. ''Mary, the wife of
John Abbey, senr. dyed the 9 Sept. 1672"; Wenham records. She was
doubtless the mother of all of his children. Her name is given as Mary Loring,
by Frederick Orr Woodruff, who says that the name was found on Enfield records
bv one who made researches for him there.

SECOND GENERATION
2. J0HN2 ABBE, son of John^ and Mary ( ) Abbe, born in 1636 or
1637, probably in Salem, Mass., died suddenly, December 11, 1700, in Windham,
Conn. As early as 1663, he was one of three to oversee the Town's Common
and to resist encroachments on the timber. He may be the John Abbe who
was constable in 1669. He is first described as a yeoman of Wenham, and was
admitted to freedom by the court at Boston, May 11, 1670. In a document
of 1683, his father designated him as the heir to his estate in Wenham upon
the condition of his caring for his father and mother in their old age. He
apparently resided upon this estate until about 1696.
The following items from the inventory of Robert Macklaflin of Wenham,
September 19, 1690, doubtless refer to this John Abbe:
To Jno. Abbe for nursing — £1
To Jno. Abbe more for tending the swine
for fatting — sl6-d3
To John Abbe due for worke to save
the corne & thresh the ry & killing the
swine & carrying them to Salem & about fencing,
fl-sl8-tl6.
March 9, 1694-5, he sold to Francis Wainwright a house and lands in Wen-
ham, 50 acres in all; and in the following year, February 21, he had a deed
of the same property back from Wainwright. In 1696 he disposed of his
property in Wenham and j^urchased of Lieutenant Exercise Conant, July 13,
1696, for £70, silver money, home lot number 7, at Windham Centre, with the
1000-acre right belonging, dwelling house, etc. May 23, 1695, Jo. Abbey was a
witness to a deed of Exercise and Sarah Conant of Beverly (Essex Deeds, Vol-
ume 2, page 101). He sold his farm in Wenham, 30 acres with buildings, to
Nathaniel Wainwi'ight, October 19, 1696, for £130. He probably soon after
removed to Windham, Conn., for on December 9, 1696, he was admitted a
freeman of that town as John Abbe, Sen', of Windham. He and his wife,
Hannah, were dismissed from the Wenham Church to that of Windham by a
letter of October 28, 1700, and were both original members of the first church
in Windham at its organization, December 10, 1700.

John- Abbe married (1) . Isaac Goodale, who was perhaps the son of
Isaac and Patience Goodale, called John Abbe his nnele, so this first w^ife may
have been a Goodale. There were also intermarriages between the Killams and
Goodales.
Married (2) HANNAH . She was a widow with children at the time
of her marriage to John Abbe. She was perhaps Hannah Goldsmith, widow of
Richard Goldsmith of Wenham. She married (2) in Windham, November 16,

16, 1710, Hannah, relict of John Abbe, deceased, divided property to Mary,

3. SAMUEL- ABBE, son of Johni Abbe, born probably at Wenham, Mass.,
about 1646, or soon after his father's settlement there; died in Windham,
Conn., March, 1697-8. His name first appears in the Wenham records at the
time of his marriage. "Samuel Abby and Mary Knowlton maryed the 12th
October 1672." He received a grant of ten acres of land in Wenham, and land
to set his house upon, from his father, John Abbey, and wife, Mary, April 3,
1675, his brethren to have the refusal of the place if he should sell (Essex
Deeds, 15:150). Samuel and his wife, Mary, were communicants of the church
in Wenham in 1674. He was a land surveyor in 1676 and appears upon the
town records as a husbandman, made freeman, October 3, 1680 (Massachusetts
Records, 5:540). He was named in his father's will, 1683.
A map of Salem dwellings in 1692, published in Volume I of Upham's Salem
Witchcraft, shows the location of Samuel Abbey's house, number 114 on a
plot in the south-west part, east of Bald Hill, within the 500 acres laid out
to Robert Goodell in 1652 and its subsequent additions.
On November 1, 1682, Samuel Abbey bought of Lott Killam and wife, Hannah,
of Salem, he being then of Wenham, 6 acres in Salem on Norrice's Brook
(12:112), and also bought of James Stimpson and wife, Priscilla, who had been
the widow of Isaac Goodell, at the same place, some land in 1684 (12:113). On
April 3, 1697, he and his wife, Mary, sold those lands described as a dwelling
house, two orchards, and seventeen acres in Salem, bounding Anthony Needham,
John Waleott, Isaac Goodale, Samuel Goodale, Abraham Smith, Abel Gardner,
Joseph Flint, and also six acres on Norrice's Brook, and two acres bought of
James Stimpson, to Zachariah White of Lynn, all for £130 (12:147), The
above James Stimpson was of Reading and had married the widow of the elder
Isaac Goodell. At the time of Goodell 's death in 1680, the widow was adminis-
tratrix and Samuel Abbey was one of her sureties. He was then probably of
Salem or possibly Topsfield.
He was admitted freeman of Salem Village, March 22, 1689-90. He and his
wife were dismissed from the Salem Church September 15, 1689, to unite in
forming one at Salem Village; the date of its formation being November 15,
1689. Salem Village is now Danvers. On July 1, 1690, he w'as taxed at Salem
Village, and again, January 18, 1694-5, he and his son were taxed there.
Samuel Abbey of Salem bought of Benjamin Howard of Windham, Conn.,
for £22. 10s. current money, half an allotment of land (500 acres), being
number 2 at the Center, at or near the locality known later as Bricktop. He
probably removed to Windlmm about that time as he was admitted an inhabitant
of that town December 21, 1697, and died there March of the following year.
His estate was settled in 1699. The inventory, taken May 9, 1698, gives as
legatees, the following: wife, Mary; daughter, Mary, aged 25; son, Samuel,
aged 23; son, Thomas, aged 20; Eleazer, aged 18 (the land records prove that
this is a mistake for Elizabeth); Ebenezer, aged 16; Mercy, aged 14; Sarah,
aged 13; Hepsibah, aged 10; Abigail, aged 8; John, aged 7; Benjamin, aged
6 ; Jonathan, aged 2. One record says he left a son, Eleazer, and a daughter,
Abigail, each 8 years old at his death. This is doubtless an attempt to rectify
the error noted above.
Samuel Abbe was living in Salem during the days of witchcraft and was one
of those opposed to its fanaticisms. One Rebecca Nourse, on trial as a witch,
produced a paper signed by several ''resj^ectable inhabitants" of Salem, among
Second GenerxYtion 9
•whom was Samuel Abbe. This document as to her good character caused her
to be set at liberty but the sentence was later changed for some reason and
she was put to death as a witch. Only a few years ago a monument to her
memory was erected by her descendants.
Samuel Abbey testifies as to Mercy Lewis, May 20, 1692, she being at the
liouse of her neiglibor, John Putnam, jr., and accused of witchcraft.
Samuel Abbe and his wife, Mary, were witnesses in a witch trial in Salem
in 1692 against Sarah Snow, a Avoman of vicious temper who had lived in their
home for a time but was dismissed on account of her disagreeable waj's. She
vowed vengeance upon them and when several of their cows and hogs were
taken sick, the blame was laid to her as a witch.
The following are taken from Records of Salem Witchcraft, copied from the
original documents. Volume 1, pages 24 and 25.

SamueP Abbe married in Wenbam, Mass., October 12, 1672, MARY KNOWL-
TON, born 1653, daughter of William and Elizabeth ( ) Knowlton. She
married (2), April 27, 1699, Abraham Mitchell and had by him a son, Daniel,
who was born and died December 10, 1700. Mary Mitchell, formerly Mary
Abby, was dismissed from the Salem Village Church to Windham, Conn.,
September 14, 1701.
The following notes are from the "Knowlton Ancestry," compiled by Rev.
C. H. W. Stocking of Freehold, N. J., published 1897:
The name Knowlton reaches back traditionally to the time of William the Conqueror,
1066-87. Richard Knowlton was born 1553, probably at Knowlton Manor, which is
situated about six miles from the great cathedral at Canterbury, Kent County, England.
He married, July 17, 1577, Elizabeth Cantize. The last of their four children was
William, commonly called Captain William, born 1584, married Ann Elizabeth Smith.
They had six children, two of whom died young. Captain William with his remaining
family sailed for America about 1632. He died on the passage and was probably buried
at Nova Scotia, as an ancient grave-stone bearing the name of WiUiam Knowlton, 1632,
was discovered there by a land-surveyor in 1839. The family appear to have moved to
Second Generation 11
Massachusetts the next year, probably to Hingham, later to Ipswich. William, second
sou of Captain William, born in England, 1615, was a member of the first church in
Ipswich and a freeman, 1641-2. He was a brick-layer by trade, married Elizabeth ,
and died 1655. The youngest of their seven children was Mary, born 1649, who married
Samuel Abbe.

5. OBADIAH- ABBEY, son of John^ Abbey, born probably in "Wenham,
Mass., between 1647 and 1652; died in Enfield, Conn., October 28, 1732. From
the inventory of his father's estate we learn that he w^as apprenticed to Richard
Goldsmith to learn his trade of shoemaker, and that he served Goldsmith three
years from his eighteenth year. As Goldsmith died in 1673, this places the
date of Obadiah's birth approximately. He was an early settler of Enfield
on the eighth lot from the south corner, east side, one of the original pro-
prietors in 1682. He seems to have been a prominent and influential man of
the community, was constable between 1682 and 1717, survej'or of highways in
1692, assessor in 1702. In 1685 he was engaged in a law suit wdth Isaac Meacham.
At Northampton is the will of Obadiah Abbey, dated September 22, 1732; pro-
bated November 14, 1732. He names as legatees his wife, Sarah, to whom is
given maintenance, all household goods and moveables; his cousin (nephew)
Thomas, son of his brother Thomas, to whom is given his Seantic lot, and to
the former Thomas' son, Obadiah, house and land, with reversion to his
youngest son, Thomas, if the said Obadiah should die; to the last-named
Thomas, he gives farm lands at the Mountains ; his wife 's daughter, Phebe Heal ;
12 Abbe- Abbey Genealogy
his cousin John Abbey's oldest son, John. His cousin, Thomas Abbey, and
Elizabeth Warriner are made executors. This Elizabeth Warriner was pre-
sumably the step-daughter of his wife, who was born in 1686.
Obadiah Abbe's holdings in Enfield are described in the Enfield records:
Home lot of 12 acres; 23 acres in the South Field, eastern division; 7 acres
upon Sehantuck River, 5 acres of it upland and 2, meadow; 2 acres of meadow
upon a small brook easterly from the "grate meadow"; 4 acres of meadow
by grant of March 5, 1700; and on November 17, 171 [ ], a farm lying west of
"Sehantuck grate meadow" consisting of 168 acres, some of the boundaries of
which were designated as "wh* Oak Tree marked with the letters 0 A" and
a "Pine Tree marked with the letters 0 A."
See also under Thomas- Abbe, references to Obadiah 's property.
Obadiah Abbe married in Enfield after 1697, SARAH TIBBALS, born Novem-
ber 29, 1654, daughter of Thomas Tibbals of Milford. Her first husband was
Daniel Collins, by whom she had children, and she married second Joseph
"Warriner of Enfield, who died 1697. Obadiah Abbe had no children, so far
as is known.
6. THOMAS- ABBE, son of John^ and Mary ( ) Abbe, born probably in
Wenham, Mass., about 1650 to 1656; died in Enfield, Conn., May 17, 1728. He
was a witness to a deed made by his father conveying property to his brother
Samuel, March 29, 1675. At first he took care of his parents and lived on the
homestead, but about 1683 some complaint was made by his father who then
turned him away and had his son John assume the charge of the place for
himself and his aged wife. Thomas doubtless went immediately to Enfield,
Conn., as he was one of the original proprietors of that town in 1683, with the
11th lot, east side, north of the south corner as his home lot. He at once
became one of the prominent men of the settlement and is mentioned frequently
on the records of Enfield : selectman in 1686, 1689, 1706, 1707, 1709, 1710 ; fence-
viewer repeatedly; assessor in 1705. He was administrator of his father's
estate in 1703, and made his father-in-law, Walter Fairfield of Wenham, his
attorney. There are several documents in the files at Essex pertaining to a law
suit arising out of this.
The case is that of Thomas Abbey of Enfield vs. Peter Lcgro of Wenham for
trespass and the defendant is allowed to substitute his landlord as the defendant.
So the case really is vs. Nathaniel Waldron, who held the lands formerly belong-
ing to John Abbe, senior, and by him given to his son John, who in 1696 sold
to Waldron. Some of these papers help prove various relationships and dis-
tinctly call Thomas of Enfield the son of the older John of Wenham.
Thomas Abbe was active in the military life of the day. He was a soldier
in King Philip's War and was wounded at the Great Swamp Fight. He was
sergeant in 1711 and lieutenant of the Enfield Trained Band in 1713. Upon the
organization of the army for the expedition against Narragansett Fort, Major
Samuel Appleton was appointed to the command of the Massachusetts forces
and on a list of the soldiers whom the Court, in May, 1676, voted to repay for
losses of those who were "damnified" by the burning of Major Appleton 's
tent at Narragansett, appears the name of Thomas Abbe, £3, s.l6. His name
is also on the roll of Major Appleton 's Company in the Narragansett Campaign.
Thomas Abbe's will, made December 12, 1726, probated August 30, 1728, men-
tions the following: wife Sarah; son Thomas, executor and to inherit the
homestead and 57 acres; son John, to inherit land at Scantic Bridge; daughters
Sarah Geer and Tabitha Warner to have the cattle. Witnesses were Obadiah
Abbee, John Pease, jr., and Joseph Sexton. He styles himself Thomas, senior, a
husbandman.

November 27, 1742. She was the daughter of Walter and Sarah (Skipper)
Fairfield, and had previoiasly been married to Needham. The Wenham
records give this record of the marriage, "Thomas Abby and Sarah Fairfield
of Wenham were married the 17th day of December, 1683, being lawfully pub-
lished with the consent of her parents Walter Fairfield, and his witness with
Moses Maverick and Elizabeth Fairfield." The marriage is recorded in both
Marblehead and Wenham.
Walter Fairfield was son of John and Elizabeth ( ) Fairfield, who came
to America in 1638. According to tradition he sprang from the Huguenot
Beauchamp family that left France for England shortly before St. Bartholo-
mew's Day.

Mary Ahhe, b. Feb. 4, 1688 ; d. Oct. 15, 1705, as recorded in the Wenham town
records. Many family and published records have wrongly stated that Mary,
daughter of Thomas and Sarah, m. James Pease. Her cousin Mary, b. Sept. 16,
1684, daughter of .John and Hannah ( ) Abbe, was the one who m. James
Pease. The Wenham records read : "Mary, the daughter of Thomas Abbe by
Sarah his wife, d. Oct. 15, 1705," and the will of Richard Abbe is further proof.

August 13 (or 18), 1673; baptized there 1676; died in the winter of 1706-7.
He is described as "of Exeter." It is the belief of the compiler that the
marriage to Abigail Severance is a second marriage and that Joseph^ Abbe
had by a previous marriage had a son Joseph, who was born in 1700 or earlier
and lived later in Ipswich, Mass.

9. RICHARDS ABBE, son of John^ and Hannah ( ) Abbe, born in

He was a prominent and respected citizen of Windham, a man of considerable
property and held various offices as constable, sheriff, justice of the j^eace,
16 Abbe- Abbey Genealogy
judge of the county court, and treasurer of the county. He represented Wind-
ham in the Legislature from 1726 to 1737 with one year's exception, and was
influential in the church. In 1726 it was ordered at a meeting of the justices
"that Mr. Richard Abbe's back-room in his dwelling-house shall be a common
gaol till the new one be built." In 1727 he opened his stately mansion as
an inn for public entertainment and received a license. In 1736 Richard Abbe,
Esq., of Windham, was one of the subscribers to the Chronological History
of New England, by Thomas Prince, M.A., of Boston. At his death, his "books
of all sorts" were appraised at £29-18-10. His will, dated June 27, 1737,

10. MARY^ ABBE, daughter of John2 and Hannah ( ) Abbe, born in
Wenham, Mass., September 16, 1684; baptized there before 1685. Lived in
Somers and Enfield.
Some authorities have given Mary, wife of James Pease, as the daughter of
Thomas and Sarah (Fairfield) Abbe of Enfield. But Mary, the daughter
of Thomas and Sarah, died in Wenham, Mass., October 15, 1705 (Wenham Vital
Records). Moreover, Richard Abbe, son of John and Hannah ( ) Abbe, in
his will mentions his sister Mary, ye wife of James Pease. Her mother divided
land belonging to her first husband, John Abbe, among his children, June 16,
1710, using these words, "moved by the love and affection I bore to my beautiful!
daughter Mary Abbe."
Married November (or October) 15, 1710, JAMES PEASE, born in Salem,
18 Abbe- Abbey Genealogy
Mass., 1677 or 1679, son of John, jr., and Margaret (Adams) Pease. The first
of the Pease family in America was Robert, who man-ied Marie , father

Mass., April 20, 1691; baptized there 1691; died in Windham, Conn., January
16, 1770. Records pertaining to John Abbe of Windham are necessarily some-
what indefinite as there were several of the name living there at the same
period. This was perhaps the John Abbe who was a proprietor in the drawing
of a twenty-acre lot in 1707. He is probably the John Abbe of Norwich to
whom, April 1, 1714, heirs of John Abbe make deed; Lydia Abbe, Thomas
and Hannah Welch, Hannah Abbe, Richard Abbe, Daniel Sabin, and James
Pease. (Windham Deeds, Liber F, page 183, etc.) In 1752 he bought property
in Union, the homestead of Nathaniel Gould, also land of Nathaniel Walker
and Joshua Webb. His name occurs in Union land transfers several times
between 1754, when he made over property to his son Richard, and 1764. His

Sarah; to son John, whose wife is Lois, land in Windham; grandson, John,

ter, Hannah, who married Joshua Webb; to daughters Mary, Elizabeth,

hanna, Pa. He, with Robert Durkee and Samuel Ransom, was taken captive
by the Indians, March 24, 1779. He was stripped, tied to a tree, stuck full
of sharp splints of pine knots; then, having piled pine knots around him,
the Indians set fire to the whole, piled the other two men on the fire, held them
down with pitchforks and tortured them until they expired.
Sarah Bidlack, perhaps a sister or daughter of Captain James Bidlack, mar-
ried Stephen Fuller, jr., brother of Abigail Fuller. He, with others, was taken

death. The fort was taken and fired, most of the women and children perish-
ing in the flames. Mrs. Fuller, with some others, went in boats down the
Susquehanna to Northumberland. About two weeks later she returned to look
for the body of her husband but found the bodies so mutilated as to be
unrecognizable. Her home had been despoiled of everything. She later returned
to Hampton, Conn., on horseback, with her only daughter, Polly, who was

Salem Village, Mass,, June 4, 1692; died in East Hartford, Conn,, October 30,
1790. He was a resident of Hartford as early as 1710 or 1713. John Abbe,
resident at Hartford, sold to his brother Ebenezer, land formerly belonging to
their father, Samuel Abbe, of Windham, October 29, 1713. (Windham Deeds,
Liber D, page 328.) March 12, 1718, he purchased from Benjamin Hills of
Hartford, 8 acres on the "east side of the Great River," There were several
John Abbes living at this period so that it is sometimes hard to tell which
one is meant, but the following records seem to pertain to this one, March 3,
1731, he joined with several others in giving a deed to the Town of Hartford
for a highway which was later known as Silver Lane and on which his house
stood, (Hartford Deeds, Vols, 5, page 307, and 3, page 164,) John Abbe of
East Hartford was one of the inhabitants of that town to protest against a
tax in 1769; signed a paper with others regarding their desire to settle in
what was known as "Western town" in 1733; was a proprietor in the Western
land and signed a Tolland petition, (Connecticut State Archives, State Library,
Towns and Lands, IX, 278b, with his autograph, V, 238e, V, 23b, and VII, 13.)
Deeds made by him were recorded in Hartford, 1736, 1738, 1748, 1754, 1759,
1765, and 1770. The most important of these is that of January 15, 1759
(Hartford Deeds, 13, page 37), by which he conveys land to his son Nehemiali
Abbe of Hartford. The name is spelled in various ways on the early records.
Abbe, Abby and Abbey, but the latter seems to have been in most frequent use
among the later descendants of his family.

Man-ied in the 2d Church in Salisbury, February 17, 1726, JONATHAN
BROWN, born in Hampton, N. H., February 24, 1700 ; died July 10, 1766. He
was son of Jacob and Sarah (Brookings) Brown and a direct descendant of
John Brown, an early immigrant to America, of Scottish descent but born in
London. There has been much confusion among the Browns in tracing ancestry,
due to the fact that Joshua Brown, a descendant of Richard Brown, married
Joanna Morrill, on December 8, 1726, in the 2d Church in Salisbury, Mass.
the same church in which, on February 17, 1726, Jonathan Brown had married
Joanna Abbe. Then after the death of Joanna Abbe Brown, her husband
married, on November 30, 1758, Mrs. Joanna (Morrill) Brown, widow of Joshua.
Joshua and Joanna (Morrill) Brown had at least eight children, and Jonathan
and Joanna (Abbe) Brown, ten, but there were no children by the second
marriage of Jonathan Brown to Mrs. Joanna (MoiTill) Brown. Most of the
records of this family are found in John R. Eastman's History of Andover,
New Hampshire.

26. OBADIAH-^ ABBE, son of Obadiali^ and Elizabeth (Wilkinson) Abbe,
born in AVindham, Conn., April 10, 1704. He is doubtless the one called "my
Cozon Obadiah Abbe of Willington" in the will of Richard^ Abbe of Windham,
1737. Various land transactions in Ashford, 1725, Obediah of Willington to
Richard Abbe of Windham, 1731, Obediah to Richard Abbe, may refer to him.
January 20, 1768, was made a deed from Obadiah of Ashford to his brother
Richard, of the same town, land in the westerly part of the town of Ashford
descended by the will of Richard Abbe of Windham ' ' to the heirs of my honored
Father Obediah Abbe of Willington." January 19, 1768, Ruth Abbe of Wil-
lington transfers property to Obediah of Ashford, land descended from her
uncle Richard of Windham. In 1767 Jeremiah Abbe received land from his
brother Obadiah, both being sons of Obadiah. [Ashford Town Records F, 11,

members of his family he was one of the patentees of the toAvnship of Norwich,
Vt., which was organized at Mansfield, Conn., August 21, 1761, but it is

of the 12th Company, 5tli Regiment, Connecticut Colonial forces. December 14,
1769, he was appointed to correspond with other committees in the county and

lived in Windham, althoiigh the vital records of that town contain the birth
of only one child, Mcrari (Mexari or Miriam). Family traditions and names
prove that Hezekiah, Mason, and Richard were also his sons and there were
doubtless others. In his will he left a farm of 90 acres on Beaver Hill in
Windham to his son Merari or Mexari. He is said to have been an officer in
the Revolution.

Clark has it Miriam, but this is not likely 'to be as correct as one of the others.
Received farm at Beaver Hill, Windham, by his father's will.

56. JOHN* PALMER, son of Samuel and Hepsibah^ (Abbe) Palmer, born
in Windham, Conn., March 6, 1720-1; died August 13, 1807. He was a mem-
ber of the Church in Scotland, Windham County, Conn., at the time of the
Separate movement. For too free exercise of his gift of exhortation, he was
summarily arrested by the ci\dl authority and kept in Hartford jail four
months, only increasing his zeal, devotion, and opposition to the established
churches. After further trial, the church united in calling him to its ministry,
and on May 17, 1749, he was ordained its pastor. "Though deficient in edu-
cation and somewhat rough in speech and manner, Mr. Palmer was a man of
estimable character and sound piety, and under his guidance the Brunswick
church, as it was called, maintained for many years a good standing in the
community, comparatively free from those excesses and fanaticisms which
marred so many of its contemporaries. No difficulty was found in supporting
its worship by voluntary contributions. A church edifice was built a mile
or so southeast of Scotland Village, long known as the Brunswick meeting-
house. Mr. Devotion (pastor of the established church) was never reconciled
to this intrusion within his parochial diocese, but was accustomed every Sunday
morning to send his negro servant with a rescript to the Brunswick meeting-
house, forbidding Mr. Palmer or any other unauthorized person to preach
therein that day — a prohibition which only served to increase the number of
attendants and fan the spirit of separation and opposition."

Fourth Generation 41
57. JOHN* ABBE, JR., son of Jolm^ and Hannah ( ) Abbe, born 1724
or earlier, probably in East Hartford, Conn.; died there about 1763. His
name appears frequently upon the deeds of tliat town, beginning in 1745 when
his father, John Abbe, transfen-ed some property to him. In 1754 he received
a grant of 3 acres in the town distribution. In 1759 John Abbe, jr., Solomon
Hills and Sarah, his wife, and Naomi Abbe, deeded land in Hartford to George
and John Buck of Wethersfield. (Hartford Deeds, 7, 226; 8, 22; 14, 348; 9, 559;
10, 247.) He was collector of the town in 1748, and signed petitions in
1748. He was a private in the 2d Company, 1st Regiment, raised by Lieutenant-
Colonel John Pitkin for the reduction of Crown Point, April, 1755, serving for
28 weeks. March 2, 1763, the Court granted administration on his estate to
Nehemiah Abbe of Hartford, who exhibited the inventory May 3, 1763. (Hart-
ford Probate Records, 19, pages 55, 67, 111.)
Married RUTH GOODWIN, who died 1782. She was daughter of John and
Sarah ( ) Goodwin of Hartford. December 13, 1771, there was a transfer
of land ' ' set out to tlie said Ruth Abbee as part of the estate of Caleb Goodwin
deceased. ' ' A deed of September 13, 1782, speaks of her as ' * our honored mother
Ruth Abbe deceased." Administration upon her estate was granted to her son,
John Abbe, jr., of Hartford, May 28, 1782, and the inventory of the estate
was recorded in October of the same year. It is an interesting document, con-
taining such items as: Great Bible 3/; 3 old books 1/6; silk crape gown 9/6;
silk hoods and velvet ones; string of gold beads 54/; extensive list of dishes
of all kinds and glass ware; Dwelling house £.72; Home Lott 5 acres £20;
4 acres pasture £16; 12^2 acres woodland £62-10; 3 acres meadow land
£25-10; 71/2 acres of woodland £48-15. (Hartford Probate Records, 23,

58. STEPHEN* ABBEY, son of John=' and Hannah ( ) Abbe, bom
probably at East Hartford, Conn., about 1727; died there March 26, 1798, aged
71. The first mention of him in the deeds of Hartford is in 1749, then in
1754, with reference to land on the west side of the "Great River." Later
transactions were of 1760, 1761, and 1765. (Hartford Deeds, 7, page 541; 8,
pages 26 and 111; 9, page 388; 10, pages 36, 37, 174; 12, page 436.) His
home was on the east side of the "Great River." Administration was granted
upon his estate, July 6, 1798, to Jonathan Stanley of East Hartford. The
brief inventory, recorded July 9, 1798, gave a total of £204-12-9. The widow,
Mary, received a share. Among the sales was one to "Theodore Abby 1 acre
& half Home lot, being the same that was set to wid° Mary Abby as dower in
s-J estate." (Hartford Probate Records, Vol. 25, 199, 220, 237; Vol. 26, 63.)
His name appears as signer of petitions regarding East Hartford lands. (Con-
necticut Archives, State Library, IX, 281d, with autograph.) He was collector
of the town in 1755. In 1791 there was an epidemic of small-pox and there was
a fad, which proved to be short-lived, of whole families inoculating themselves
with the disease and retiring into seclusion. Stephen Abbey with several others
petitioned the town for permission to do this in April, 1791. The privilege was
taken away by the authorities in September of the same year, but we have no

Fourth Generation 48

torical Society Collections, IX, 84.) He is credited with 5 days' service under
Captain Ebenezer Wallisant, dated April 2, 1778. (Vermont Revolutionary War
Rolls.) The records of the Pension Office at Washington show that Eleazer
Abbe entered the service in the 3d Connecticut Regiment, April 16, 1778, and

63. JONATHAN^ ABBE, JR., son of Jonathan^ and Mary (Johnson) Abbe,
born in Ashford or Willington, Conn., about 1725. No record of his birth
has been found but he is designated in his father's will as eldest son. The
following land transfers in Ashford, Conn., probably refer to him : Jonathan
of Ashford, 1785 ; same 1793 ; agreement with Job Tyler regarding a mill
privilege, 1795, David Abbey being a witness. (Ashfoixl Land Records, Liber
11, page 663; Liber 12, pages 14, 371; Liber 13, pages 15, 16, 17.) In 1768
a call was extended by the Church in Westford to the Reverend Ebenezer
Martin, and Jonathan Abbe is one of the names subscribed to the covenant
of the newly-formed church. He shared pew number 18 with Ephraim Walker
when the new church was built. He and his father had been members of the
"Willington Church in 1759. Jonathan, jr., is said to have lived in Tolland, but
no records of his residence there are found. A Jonathan Abbe married in
Willington, November 1, 1774, Mary Weston, who died August 11, 1775. This
is possibly a first marriage of his son, Jonathan. There is also recorded in

gives to James Eaton during his life 100 acres of land described therein, "to be

Eaton." The remainder of said lot is bequeathed to his wife Betsey A. during
her lifetime, "and what remains to be tlae estate of Stephen A. Greene after
defraying the expenses of my brother Isaac Abbey and his wife" by providing for
them out of the property on said lot. "I bequeath the one half to my beloved

Abbe, born in Enfield, Conn., April 11, 1731; died there June 1, 1811. He is
unquestionably buried in Enfield although the huge monument of a more recent
family has probably obscured his grave. He was best known by the title of
Cajitain Abbe. His fu'st enlistment noted is as Corporal in the 3d Company,
1st Regiment, May 25 to November 22, 1758; then as Lieutenant in the 7th
Company, 1st Regiment, under Captain Setli King, April 1 to December 1,
1761. (Connecticut Historical Society Collections, X, pages 10 and 247.) He
was commissioned captain, January 1, 1777.
In his ''Quest of Ancestors," Mr. Alden Freeman says:
That long line of warlike Abbeys beginning with John, who came in the "Bonaventure"
and settled in Salem in 1636 ; his son Thomas, who settled in Enfield after King Phillip's
War; his grandson, Lieutenant Thomas Abbey, and his great-grandson, Thomas Abbey,
ensign and lieutenant in the French and Indian Wars and afterward captain under
Washington throughout the Revolutionary War, whose service I was invited to represent
in the Connecticut Society of the Cincinnati. On the Thursday following the battle of
Lexington, Thomas Abbey, on learning of the fight, procured a drum and actually
drummed the people out of the meeting-house at Enfield, where they were gathered at
their regular weekday lecture.
This interesting event was beautifully commemorated by a poem written by
Benjamin F. Taylor, and published in the Atlantic Monthly in May, 1878, and
the following is a copy of the poem :
THE CAPTAIN'S DRUM
In Pilgrim land, one Sabbath day.
The winter lay like sheep about
The ragged pastures mullein gray ;
The April sun shone in and out.
The showers swept by in fitful flocks.
And eaves ticked fast like mantel clocks ;
And now and then a wealthy cloud
Would wear a ribbon broad and bright,
And now and then a winged crowd
Of shivering azure flash in sight.
So rainbows bend and bluebirds fly
And violets show their bits of sky.
To Enfield church throng all the town,
In quilted hood and bombazine.
In beaver hat and flaring crown.
And quaint Vandyke and victorine ;
And buttoned boys in roundabout
From calyx collars blossom out ;
Bandanas wave their feeble fire.
And foot-stoves tinkle up the aisle ;
A gray-haired elder leads the choir.
And girls in linsey-woolsey smile.
So back to life the beings glide
Whose very graves have ebbed and died.
One hundred years have waned, and yet
We call the roll, and not in vain.
For one whose flint-lock musket set
The echoes wild around Fort Duquesne,
And smelled the battle's powder smoke
Ere Revolution's thunders woke.
52 Abbe-Abbey Genealogy
Lo, Thomas Abbey answers, "Here !"
Within the dull long-metre place,
That day, upon the parson's ear,
And trampling down his words of grace,
A horseman's gallop rudely beat
Along the splashed and empty street.
• The rider drew his dripping rein,
And then a letter, wasp-nest gray,
That ran : "The Concord minute-men
And red-coats had a fight to-day !
To Captain Abbey this with speed."
Twelve little words to tell the deed.
The captain read, struck out for home
The old quickstep of battle born.
Slung on once more a battered drum
That bore a painted unicorn
Then right-about, as whirls a torch,
He stood before the sacred porch.
And then a murmuring of bees
Broke in upon the house of prayer ;
And then a wind-song swept the trees.
And then a snarl from wolfish lair ;
And then a charge of grenadiers,
And then a flight of drum-beat cheers.
So drum and doctrine rudely blent,
The casements rattled strange accord ;
No mortal knew what either meant ;
'Twas double-grad and Holy Word,
Thus saith the drum, and thus the Lord.
The captain raised so wild a rout
He drummed the congregation out.
The people gathered round amazed ;
The soldier bared his head and spoke.
And every sentence burned and blazed.
As trenchant as a sabre stroke :
" 'Tis time to pick the flint to-day.
To sling the knapsack, and away !
"The green of Lexington is red
With British red-coats, brothers' blood !
In rightful cause the earliest dead
Are always best beloved of God.
Mark time ! Now let the march begin !
All bound for Boston fall right in!"
Then rub-a-dub the drum jarred on,
The throbbing roll of battle beat ;
"Fall in, my men !" and one by one
They rhymed the tune with heart and feet.
And so they made a Sabbath march
To glory 'neath the elm-tree arch.
The Continental line unwound
Along the Church-yard's breathless sod,
And holier grew the hallowed ground
Where Virtue slept and Valor trod,
Two hundred strong that April day
They rallied out and marched away.
Brigaded there at Bunker Hill,
Their names are writ on Glory's page.
The brave old captain's Sunday drill
Has drummed its way across the age.

The church around which Captain Abbey beat the long roll was completed
in the January preceding, and stood near the present church. It was used as
a church for the town until 18i9, wlien it was bought by the town and moved
to the west side of the street, where it now stands and has been used as a
town liall ever since. A memorial to Captain Abbey and others of the family
is about to be erected by Mr. Alden Freeman witli his mother and sisters.
The Abbey Memorial Avill be on the Green in Enfield, on the site of the
church out of whieli Captain Abbey drummed the congregation at the Lex-
ington Alarm. The actual site of the old church is just in front of the
present edifice. The design calls for a marble statue on a pedestal surrounded
by four marble seats in the Greek style. On the backs of these seats are
inscriptions commemorating the achievements of some of the best known descend-
ants of the Abbey family, in the fields of war, literature and science. The
sculptor, Sherry E. Fry, used as a model for tlie face and figure for the statue
of Captain Abbey, a daguerreotype of his grandson, Seth Alden Abbey, taken
at the same age. Daniel C. French, sculptor of the ''Minute Men" unveiled
at Concord Bridge in 1875, has taken gi-eat interest in the work of Mr. Fry, and
loaned him tlie simple Colonial suit used for the presentation of Captain Abbey.
Tlie following is an extract from a letter written by Seth Alden^ Abbey to his
son, Henry G. Abbey, dated June 15, 1872, telling something of Thomas Abbey :
When a small boy, I was frequently at his house for a week at a time and have heard
him tell many a thrilling tale of his hairbreadth escapes, hardships, sufferings, etc.
During the French War he received a commission as Ensign in the Colonial troops and
saw considerable service against the French and Indians. At the breaking out of the
Revolution, a volunteer company was formed in his neighborhood and he was elected
their captain and they were soon ordered to join Colonel Willett's Regiment in New
York. I have heard him say, frequently, that he had chances of promotion, often, but
his men would not consent to his leaving them. When a boy I saw many of his old
soldiers who had served during the war ; and the neighbors were as particular in address-
ing any of them, in giving them their title, as Corporal such a one, or Sergeant such a
one, as they would be in addressing a General. Thomas Abbey died in 1811, and was
as anxious for a fight with old England, which was then much talked of, just before
his death, as in his younger days. He died suddenly with apoplexy.

Boston and were stationed during the siege in Putnam Centre Di\dsion at Cam-
bridge until the expiration of term of service December 10, 1775. In July the
Regiment was adopted as ''Continental," and was engaged at the Battle of
Bunker Hill. (Some of these later records may refer to his son John".) See

the American Revolution, 1910 volume. His will, made February 2, 1789, pro-

in Enfield, Conn., December 23, 1723-4 (or January).
Married in Enfield, January 9, 1739-40, JOHN BURROUGHS. He removed
from Enfield to Tolland, Conn., then up the Connecticut River to Hanover in
search of land to which he had a claim. Being disappointed and discouraged,
he determined to return to Tolland. He consulted, however, with friends at
Walpole, and finally made a purchase near the west line in Alstead, N. H.,
where his wife's sister, Martha, had removed after her mamage. He, with his
son, John, came on to the land, which was covered with hea^^ timber, and the
first tree that was felled parted a limb wliieh struck his head and injured him
severely. He was carried by his son to Walpole, where he in a measure recov-
ered, though he was never perfectly restored to his former health.

although his birth is not recorded in Willington, Conn., with other children
of that Obadiah. He was born about 1733 and died in 1809. The records of
this family are somewhat confused but it seems likely that all the data here
given must refer to the family of this Joseph Abbe. Norwich, Connecticut,
Records, 23, page 436, mention "Joseph Abbe and wife Dele, both of Spring-
field in the State of Massachusetts Bay .... received property from our
^^ncle, Captain Jonathan Pitcher, late of Norwich, said Dele Abbe, daughter of
Samuel Pitcher deceased who was natural brother to said Jonathan," June 13,
1779. Joseph and Dittie Abbe are also in the records of Springfield, Mass.
MaiTied in Willington, Conn., June 10, 1765, DELIVERANCE ARMSTRONG.
This marriage is recorded in Willington, According to a record from the
descendants she is called Dilla Pitcher. Perhaps she was a widow when married
to Joseph Abbe, or her mother may have married a second time and the
daughter used the name of her step-father at the time of her marriage. She
died November, 1840, aged 102 yrs., 7 mos., 15 days.
Children, first three recorded in Willington, last five in Springfield, Mass,

Daniel Abbe, was last heard from in Upper Canada. There was a Daniel Abbey
who was one of the early settlers of Eaton, Madison County, N. Y., in 1795.
He was perhaps the father of Daniel Abbe who m. Esther Nunn, and of Shubael
who lived in Buffalo at one time. Nathaniel Abbey, who had a brother Orrin,
may have been of his family also.

which so characterized the women of her native town, and after fitting out her husband
and his horsemen, she set out memorial trees in honor of the joyful occasion. Four
sapling elms brought up on horseback from the old Windham homestead, were carefully
transplated into the soil of Woodstock — two in front of her dwelling and two on the
slope of the adjoining common. Nurtured with care and pains they soon took root and
flourished and for more than an hundred years have told the story of Lexington. True
trees of Liberty, they have grown up with the Nation, and still stand in majestic beauty,
living witnesses to the patriotism and devotion of the women of Windham County.
Married in Windham, as his second wife, March 5, 1766, SAMUEL MC CLEL-
LAN, born January 4, 1730, in Worcester, Mass.; died September 17, 1807, in
Woodstock, Conn. ; buried there. His parents emigrated from Kircudbright, on
the Firth of Solway in Scotland. He married (1) November 16, 1757, Jemima
Chandler, by whom he had children: Samuel, William, Lemuel and Polly. He
married (3) July 3, 1798, Mrs. Eunice Folunsbee of Worcester.
Samuel MeClellan served as Ensign and Lieutenant of a company in the
French war and was wounded in battle. Upon his return from the provincial
campaign he purchased a farm in Woodstock, married and settled there. He
later engaged in mercantile business and established an extensive trade, import-
ing his own goods and supplying neighboring merchants. When the Revolution
put a stop to his trade he trained and equipped the countj^ militia. A fine troop
of horse was raised in Woodstock, Pomfret and Killingly, of which he became
commander. He rose by promotions until 1784 when he was Brigadier-General
of the 5th Brigade, Connecticut militia. In 1776 his regiment was ordered into
service and stationed in and about New Jersey. He was solicited by General
Washington to join the Continental Army and was offered an important com-
mission biit his domestic and business affairs compelled him to refuse. After
the invasion and burning of New London and the massacre at Fort Groton, he
was appointed over the troops stationed at those points and continued the com-
mand until the close of the war, acting as commissary in the purchase and for-
warding of provisions for the army when not otherwise in active service. He
returned to mercantile business after the war bitt soon gave it up to manage
his extensive estates. He was highly esteemed as a Christian gentleman and
was honored by his townsmen by many important offices.

74 Abbe- Abbey Genealogy
epitaph, from the okl Windham burying-ground, gives a clear account of this
worthy citizen:
In memory of SHUBAEL ABBE, Esq., who died suddenly April 16, 1804, aged 59.
He graduated at Yale College in 1764. He was several years in the business of
merchandise, and by his own exertion became largely engaged in husbandry. In 1783
he was appointed Sheriff of the County of Windham and continued in the most
unexceptionable manner to discharge the duties of that office till his death. He was
often chosen a Representative of the town, in 1798, he was appointed by the Presi-
dent one of the Commissioners of the land tax. And by the Assembly one of the
Committee to manage the school funds. In domestic life he was indulgent and decisive.
In public business, active, punctual, and correct. In his attachment to civil and
religious institutions he was exemplary, and to the poor and afflicted humane and
generous. His abilities and integrity secured to him the esteem and confidence of his
feUow Citizens, and his death was extensively and deeply regretted.
He left a widow, three sons and five daughters to mourn an irreparable loss.
Tears flow nor cease where Abbe's ashes sleep,
For him a wife and tenderest children weep,
And Justly — for few shall ever him transcend,
A husband, parent, and a faithful friend.
He received the degree A.B. from Yale College in 1764 and A.M. in 1767.
His inventory, taken May 8, 1804, denotes an estate of $29,412.85; papers
mentioning the widow and children. (Windham Probate Records, Vol. 15, pages
111, 176, 362, 468.)

welfare, held various civil offices, including that of jailer. During the Revolu-
tion he had at one time some English prisoners who ornamented tlie wall of

that this was only to conceal efforts they were making to remove a portion
of the wall and make their escape. When they finally succeeded in getting

At his death his property was inventoried at $9,919.40, with 325 acres of
land. The inventory, taken October 12, 1801, is a most interesting document
with its long enumeration of articles of furniture and Avearing apparel, among
which were chairs and tables of several kinds, six fiddle-back chairs, silver
knee-buckles and plated shoe-buckles. The property was distributed to the
widow, Susannah, and children: Mary Taintor, Joshua, Lucy, Thomas, George,

120. JOSHUA^ ABBE, JR., son of Joshua* and Mary (Ripley) Abbe, born
in Windham, Conn., January 9, 1751. He was a man of strong religious impulses,
opposed to orthodox preaching, and became a preacher of the Christian denomi-
Fifth Generation 77
nation, or, as it was at times called, the Congregational Baptist. In 1826 he was
on the register of preachers. Larncd's History of Windham County, page 221,
"Vol. 2, says this :
In the north part of Winilhani, whioh was now becoming a populous neighborhood, a
remarkable worship was conducted by Joshua Abbe. Rev. Moses Cook Welch of Mansfield
represented '-these Abbe-itcs as a sect of Baptists, differing from any and all of that
denomination that had ever risen in any age, having no communication even with other
Baptist churches. Their meetings were characterized by jargon, disorder and great
confusion ; all were allowed to speak at pleasure, women as well as men, three, four, or
six sometimes speaking at once, while groans, sobs, and sighs were reiterated by others."
As the Rev. Moses Cook Welch Avas an orthodox preacher of the same
neighborhood and entered into violent controversy over these unorthodox
preachers, we may believe that this account may have been somewhat colored
by his personal feelings.
In the Census of 1800, he is doubtless the Joshua Abbe of Windham, with a
family of 15.
Joshua Abbe resided in North Windham on his father's home farm and later
emigrated to Leroy, N. Y., where he died. A settlement was made between his
widow and George W. Abbe, administrator, October 15, 1836. (Windham

January 1, 1777, under Captain John Keyes, Colonel John Durkee; was at the

Abbey, has the chest which he carried during his service in the Revolution. On
April 19, 1818, William Abbey applied for a pension, at that time being a resident
of Onondaga County, N. Y. In pension papers of 1820, mention was made of

child, Eunice Abbe, "all of which I provide for and support besides myself,
who have not done a day 's work this twelve years past on account of infirmity. ' '
In sjiite of this infirmity, he seems to have been well-to-do, as he owned property
worth $68.75 and owed but $12.00. His name is on the tablet in memory of the
Revolutionary soldiers of Onondaga County, in the Post Office at Syracuse.
The Census of 1790 records him at Duanesburg, Albany County, N. Y., 1 male

159. JONATHAN' ABBEY, 3D, son of Jonathan*, jr., and Alice (Johnson)
Abbey, born February 2G, 1853, in AVillington, Conn.; died October 5, 1807, at
Olive (Shokan), N. Y. He was probably living at Ashford, Conn., at the time
of the 1790 Census, 2 males over 18, 3 males under 18, 5 females in the family.
In the 1800 Census he is recorded with 1 male and 1 female over 45, 1 male
and 2 females between 16 and 26, and 1 male between 10 and 16. He removed
to Shokan, Ulster County, N. Y., in 1802.
The story is told in the family that Jonathan Abbey was in the company of
patriots with General Israel Putnam when, on February' 26, 1779, General Putnam
escaped from 1500 English and Tories by running his horse doAvn a hundred
steps in the rock at Horseneek Hill, Greenwich, Conn. Jonathan said that
Putnam told his men to look out for themselves, to retreat as best they could,
and that he, being mounted, would take care of himself. The British broke
in upon the company, who ran into a swamp, and Putnam started off, closely
pursued by dragoons. Presently pistol shots were heard, Putnam dashed down
the rocky steps, and the company never expected to behold him alive again,
but soon they were delighted to see him come cantering back as if nothing
had hajipened, and with no wound greater than a bullet-hole through his
three-cornered hat.
Botli Jonathan Abbey and his wife were buried in a cemetery at the site
of the Ashokan Dam, and their remains were in 1910 removed to the Montrepose
Cemeter\' in Kingston, by their descendants, Charles Augustus Abbey and Henry
Abbey. The inscriptions read as follows:

Fifth Generation 103
175. OBADIAH'' ABBE, son of Thomas* and Penelope (Terry) Abbe, born
June 15, 1752, in Enfield, Conn. Lived at Warehouse Point. He appears to
have left Enfield after about 1783 as no further records of his family appear
there. One account says he moved from the Ferry ' ' out west. " He is probably
the Obadiah Abbe who was recorded in the 1790 Census in East Windsor,
Conn., 1 male over 16, 2 males under 16, 4 females in his family.
Married JANE MC CLESTER. Stiles' Ancient Windsor wrongly records that
Charles Abbe married Jane Maclester, only child of an Irish merchant, and had
daughters, Jane, born January 6, 1780, and Sally, born October 1, 1792. Mr.
James Allen Kibbe proves this error by an examination of the records in
Enfield and Hartford. He finds that James McClester left an estate settled
between October 20, 1778, and June 13, 1786, mentioning a widow, Elizabeth,
and children, James, John, Jane, wife of Obadiah Abbe, and Eleanor, wife of
Elihu Geer. (Found in Hartford probate files and partly in Book 23.)

public-spirited man, highly esteemed as a preacher. Several of his sermons

251. JOSHUA« ABBE, son of Phineas^ and Mary (Bingham) Abbe, born
February 15, 1775, on tlie farm south of Windham Center, Conn., later bought
by his brother George; died at East Thomaston (Rockland), Maine, January 20,
1849. At 14 he was a clerk with a Mr. Woodbridge in Norwich, where he
probably remained until he was 21. He then went to New London, and about
1802 to New Gloucester, Maine, with Godfrey Grosvenor. In 1832 he moved to
Bangor and after eight years, having retired from business, he broke up house-
keeping and went to live with his daughter at Rockland, then East Thomaston.
He was a successful merchant, though not well known outside of his immediate
circle of friends, owing to his retiring disposition which led him to refuse offers
of public office.

252. GEORGE'' ABBE, son of PliineasS and Susanna (Brown) Abbe, born

resided for many years in New York City, where he was a member of tlie firm
of Hill, Fish and Abbe, a transportation company between New York and Phila-
delphia. Mr. Hill of the firm attended to its interests in Philadelphia, Mr. Fish
at Trenton, and Mr. Abbe at New York. Boats were used between New York
and Perth Amboy and these were in charge of Captain Jacob Vanderbilt and
his brother Cornelius, afterwards known as Commodore. From Amboy pas-
sengers were taken to Philadelphia in coaches. The transportation company was
merged into the Camden and Amboy Railroad when that was built. It was the
first passenger railroad in the United States. Mr. Samuel Badger Abbe, then
a mere child, was taken on the excursion train that he might ride on the
first passenger car in America. Mr. Abbe moved to Windham in 1835. He
had a large fortune, as fortunes went in those days, when he left New York,
but much of it disappeared before his death in various enterprises with which
he was connected.

Samuel Badger- Alhe, b. in New York City, Nov. 25, 1829 ; d. at Fort Snelling,
Minn., Oct. 4, 1864. Married at Scotland, Conn., Aug. 25, 1858, Abby Fuller,
b. at Scotland, March 15, 1833. She resides in St. Paul, Minn. The following
account of Mr. Abbe's life is taken from a letter of Mrs. Abbe :
"Of the early life of my husband I know little, only he was placed at school
when be was six years of age, somewhere up the Hudson, and later attended
school at Pomfret, Conn., perhaps elsewhere. From a few old letters to his
brother, I find that he sailed from New York to California, Nov. 17, 1849, in
company with a young man of his own age, barely twenty. The boat had been
fitted for them with the intention of its being placed on the Sacramento River
when they arrived. Evidently it was unfit for ocean travel as it was so small it
could only carry fuel from port to port. After going through the Straits of
Magellan with great difficulty and danger, they landed at Panama, July 7, 1850,
eight months from New York, and one month later reached San Francisco. The
boat fulfilled its intention and was placed on the Sacramento River and was a
financial success.
"Mr. Abbe remained in California until early in 1852. His father's death had
occurred a short time before, and, urged by his mother, he went home to look
after his father's estate. He crossed the Isthmus on his return, a rough trip at
that time. He remained in Windham until the spring of 1853 when he went to
St. Paul, met with a severe accident that detained him there some mouths,
abandoned the idea of returning to California, decided to remain in the then
young territory of Minnesota, and, like all the young men there, lent himself
to the work of building up a new state. He was a member of the Legislature,
a delegate to Railroad and State Conventions, laid out town sites and many other
matters pertaining to the youth of a new country. A year or two later, a sale
was made of the large military reservation at Fort Ripley on the upper Missis-
sippi, in which he became interested, and, in 1860, built a house there, pre-
paratory to starting a ranch, but before his plans were completed, the Civil War
broke out. The regular troops were ordered away, in consequence came the
Indian outbreak which swept the entire state. They burned the Missions, drove
off the settlers and moved down to the Agency. The Government Agent, crazed
with fright, committed suicide and the country was left to frontiersmen. We
went into the Post, Fort Ripley, which was garrisoned with only a few raw
recruits. After days and weeks of suspense, the Commissioner of Indian affairs,
with Mr. Nicolay, Private Secretary to President Lincoln, and a few troops,
came to our relief. Even then, after long delay, the Chiefs met them in council,
they were all surrounded, and barely escaped with their lives, as Mr. Nicolay
wrote afterwards in an article in Harper's Monthly.
140 Abbe- Abbey Genealogy
"Mr. Abbe never recovered from the labor and suspense involved. We never
returned to our home but went to St. Paul. Mr. Abbe went to Washington,
made a hasty visit to AVindham and went with the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs and other officials to the Red River, where the Indians were turbulent,
to make a treaty. He took a sevei'e cold from which he never recovered. He was
given officer's quarters at Fort SneUing where he lived for some months, and in
that gray old fort, that had seen so many tragedies, his adventurous and promis-
ing life ended."

261. JESSE" ABBEY, son of Joshua^, jr., and Tryphena (Bass) Abbe, born
in Windliam, Conn., February 14, 1783; died about 1859, in Van Buren County,
Mich. He removed to Ohio and later to Michigan, where he kept a hotel and
was a well-known character for many years. He was one of the pioneers in
Antwerp and his log hostelry was well known throughout the country. The
frugal fare of the day and a bottle of whiskey were the chief elements in the
entertainment of the stage-coach passengers or the foot-travelers who stopped
at these wayside inns. One day a traveler put up with the hospitable old land-
144 Abbe- Abbey Genealogy
lord, and, as he went in, told him he had no money, but would pay him some
day. The old gentleman replied: "Stay? Of course you can stay, and pay me
when you can. I've had lots of customers, but never turned one away." Some
time later, the traveler called, and, as he offered the money due Mr. Abbey on
the old score, said, * ' Do you remember me ? I stopped here and could not pay. ' '
''I don't remember," said Mr. Abbey, "but lots of folks have done that thing
here. Maybe you did. You can pay what you please." On receiving the
money, the old innkeeper exclaimed: "Hurrah for an honest man. Such a
thing has never happened to me since I've kept tavern. I've trusted hundreds
of people for their fare, and that has been the end of the matter. If there
was a newspaper published anywhere in these parts, I'd put this in sure."
There was a settlement of "Buckeyes" or Wesleyan Methodists in Antwerp
district. Jesse Abbey had joined this sect, and was considered a kind of
patriarchal chief among them. His hair was gray, long, and thin. He wore
a straw hat winter and summer, and usually, in meeting, seated himself by
the side of the minister, his straw hat on his head; and if anything in the
sermon pleased him, he would exclaim: "Good, that's right; ha, ha," clapping
his hands in exultant emotion. Other leaders in the church were Father Libby
and Johnny Johnson. There was a strife between them and Father Abbey as
to who could talk or exhort the best in meeting.
Johnny Johnson could not write, and used to get his friends to write letters
for him. On one occasion, after the letter was written, directed, and sealed,
Johnson started home but returned in a short time, sajdng there was something
he forgot to put in the letter. The writer protested against opening it as it
was folded into envelope shape and sealed, but Johnson said it was very
important and must be added to the letter. So the seal was broken and this
sentence added: "Tell them that it is nick-el-ty tuckey with Father Abbey
and me as to who can talk the best in meetin'." This important message was
added to the letter, it was refolded, and sent to the friends in Ohio.
The 1850 Census records him as a farmer of Antwerp. In 1845 he sent to
school an "adopted son," Ben Wait.
Jesse Abbey married LORINDA DORMAN of New Haven, Conn. She was
born about 1789 and was living in 1850.

and went, when a young man, to Orleans County, N. Y., where he married and
later removed to Ohio. He lived near EljTia, Ohio, until about 1836 when the
territory of Iowa was opened for settlers and he removed thither by wagon
158 Abbe- Abbey Genealogy
with his family, crossing the Mississippi on the ice in February. He finally
settled upon land in Mount Vernon, Linn County, Iowa, then a wild prairie
with no white inhabitants. There were several hundred Winnebago Indians
living in that vicinity. Mr. Abbe was always friendly with them. In the season
of maple sugar making there would often be as many as five hundred Indians
camped around his door-yard. Mr. Abbe had a fine lot of maples and allowed
the Indians to tap the trees, reserving what he needed for his own use. This
reservation was never encroached upon.
Mr. Abbe was elected Justice of the Peace in the new settlement; acted as
sheriff and his house was used to hold criminals until the first county jail was
built. He was elected to the Legislature and served two terras. In 1849 he
went with a party to the California gold fields. He returned in 1851, by way
of Cape Horn; was shipwrecked and lost nearly all he had; but the following
year found him again on his way to the gold fields, going by way of Panama
and taking his oldest son, Andrew. They went to San Benito, Calif., and engaged
in ranching and cattle-raising. He died while on a business trip to Sacramento.
He was a member of the Masonic order and had much to do with the early
history of Linn County.

In 1849 he embarked at Cleveland on the sailing vessel "Eureka" for a
voyage to California, through the canals and down the St. Lawrence River to
Quebec, then down the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Atlantic Ocean. When they

fog prevailing, instead of the shorter route through the Straits of Magellan.
After a voyage of nine months, they reached San Francisco. In 1851 he started
home on tlie "Republic" bound for Panama. In mid-ocean she sprang a leak,
was kept afloat by hard pumping and ran ashore at Acapulco Bay, where she

in or near Guilford, N. Y., but in her last years she removed to Masonville.
There are extant several of her letters to her children, now in the possession
of Mrs. Dora Walker, Mrs. Josiah Still and Mr. Edwin W. Burch. They are
wonderful letters in point of the extreme poverty that seems to have been her
lot, and 5^et the fortitude and Christian hope in which she lived are no less
wonderful. Some of her older children had gone out to Chautauqua County,
a son had established himself there and some of his sisters had gone out there
to work in the families of former neighbors who had moved to near Westfield.

he was lost at sea.

Newman Alheij Brown, b. 1824; d. in California about 1900; m. Eliza A. Whitman.
Children : Three who d. young and a fourth, b. and d. on the voyage from New
York to California, around Cape Horn.
He possessed unusual ability as a salesman and was the owner of two very
successful stores, one in Madison and one in Boscobel, Wis. Trips to buy goods
in these early days required a long time, and once when in New York City, where
he had gone to purchase goods, he chanced to consult a fortune teller, who used
cards. After shuffling the cards she told him there had been or was to be a death
in his family. Shuffling them a second time she told him the same thing. After
shuffling the third time, she said nothing but the expression on her face frightened
him, and he entered upon the journey back to Wisconsin as soon as possible.
Upon his arrival he learned that one of his children had died on a certain Wednes-
day and was buried the following Friday ; a second child had died on the following
Wednesday and had been buried the Friday following ; the third child had died
shortly before his arrival and was ready for burial.
This experience shortly thereafter affected his mind so that his business could not
be properly carried on and he lost both stores. After a time, with the approval of
his faithful wife, he decided to go to California and take up life anew. They
sailed from New York Harbor around Cape Horn. There was born to them on
the journey another child, but it died almost at birth and was buried at sea.
Arriving in California, the change, for a time, seemed to be beneficial to him.
With his limited capital he would buy the entire outfit of city trucksters, and, with
his native ability to sell things, would retail it always at a profit. But as time
went on, he consulted mediums and various kinds of fortune tellers who relieved
him of much of his scanty means. After quite a long time he became unable to
provide for his vsafe and she was obliged to return to her own family in the east.
His latest years were passed with his mind entirely unbalanced.
327. JOHN" ABBEY, son of Jonathan^ Abbey and Mrs. Lucy (Knox) Rob-
bins, born November IS, 1789, in Ashford, Conn.; died October 5, 1841, at
the home of his son, Stephen, in Rondout, N. Y. He was living near Rockdale
on the Unadilla River about 1822. He had a first-rate team that was admired
by everyone who saw it. Knowing about this team, the two Assemblymen of
the vicinity engaged Mr. Abbey to take them from Unadilla to Albany, a
distance of a hundred miles. On the day appointed Mr. Abbey met them at
the village inn. When the hostler brought the team around to the door, and
the party came out to start on their journey, the Assemblymen complained to
Mr. Abbey about the general appearance of the turn-out. They said that the
horses were fine, but the sleigh was a miserable, old-fashioned affair, and the
harness was worse. "Well, gentlemen," said Mr. Abbey, "I am much mistaken
if you are more ashamed of me along the road than I shall be of you when
you get to Albany."
Dominie Mason of Rondout liked a fine horse, and, knowing that John Abbey
did too, drove up where he was standing one day, and said, ''There, Mr. Abbey,
what do you think of my horse?" "I think," said Mr. Abbey, "that he is
in strong contrast with the one your Master rode into Jerusalem on."

354. DORREPHUS" ABBEY, son of Peter-^ and Hannah (Alden) Abbey,
born July 13, 1792, in Suffield, Conn. ; was hanged at Prescott, Canada, Decern-
Sixth Generation 187
ber 10, 1838, for his activities iia the Patriots' War. He was a printer by trade,
lived in Albany, N. Y., and later in Watertown and Oswego, at the time of his
death was a resident of Panielia, Jefferson County. In 1815 a monthly news-
paper called "The Friend" was i)ublished by Dorrephus Abbey and his brother,
Seth Alden Abbey, in Albany. Dorrephus Abbey was an early publisher of the
Binghamton Republican Herald before 1822. In 1817 he was one of the
founders of the Jefferson and Lewis Gazette at Watertown and in 1819 was
instrumental in founding the Oswego Palladium at Oswego. He took an active
part in the scheme in 1837 for freeing Canada from the English Government,
known as the Patriots' War. Jefferson County was the scene of intense
excitement at the time and "Hunter Lodges" were formed in every village
to promote the Patriot cause. The real promotors of the scheme were too
cowardly to take an active part in the expeditions and the punishment fell
upon those who were conscientious in assisting what they believed to be a
worthj^ cause.
There were some serious engagements between the troops or militia and the
insurgents, and of these the most severe took place at Prescott, where the rebels
had taken refuge in a stone wind-mill, from which they were ultimately driven
by fire being set to the combustible matter in the lower part of the building.
Many Americans who sympathized with the insurgents took part in the battle.
An ej'e-witness stated that he counted 110 dead bodies on the snow, on the
morning after the battle. Four of the officers of the expedition were captured,
court-martialed and sentenced to be hung. Colonel Abbey is said to have met
his death with great fortitude and the papers of the day reveal nothing but
respect for his character and regret that his life should have been a sacrifice
to an unfortunate cause.
The following letters written to his son and daughters on the eve of his
execution have fortunately been preserved:
Fort Henry November 28, 1838.
My dear son :
I this moment received your letter by the hands of the sheriff. I am in want of nothing
but what my friends at Watertown have already provided. Tell your dear sisters that
one or both of them had better go to Oswego. As for yourself, take good counsel
Whatever may be my fate, yon must exercise firmness and resignation commensurate
to the trial ; we must sooner or later part ; it is of no great moment when and in what
manner I take my exit. If my life is sacrificed, I have the approbation of an approving
conscience, having been governed by integrity of purpose. Great delusion has, however,
been entertained in relation to public opinion in Canada. They are not prepared for
republican institutions. All governments should conform to the genius of the people.
Your affectionate father,
Dorrephus Abbey.
Mr. Abbey to his son :
Fort Henry, Tuesday night, Dec. 11, 1838.
Arm yourself my dear boy with fortitude, to hear the sad intelligence, that ere these
lines meet your eye, I am numbered with the dead. My zeal in the cause of universal
freedom has eventually cost me my life. But let it be remembered, that the unfortunate
expedition I was engaged in, took a direction contrary to my views ; but in this affair
you can take no interest at present, or at any other time further than my reputation is
concerned ; time will develope facts, when my conduct and intentions will be known and
appreciated.
When our condition became hopeless, I could then have taken opportunity to have made
my escape across the line, but I could not bear the thoughts of deserting those brave,
and many of them, worthy and amiable young men to destruction ; life, thus preserved,
would not be worth possessing.
In relation to my pecuniary affairs, you must be frequently with and advise with my
friends' counsel, and also with Mr. Wiley, and if it should be necessary to sell any of
my real estate, let the village property be sold if possible.
As regards yourself, cultivate your mind, associate with honorable men, aim high and
let all your motives be of an exalted character ; and now, my beloved son, I bid you
adieu for ever.
Dorrephus Abbey.

To his daughters:
December 11, 1838.
My dear Daughters :
Many severe trials have awaited you from your earhest chihlhood, but that which you
have now to endure, will require all your firmness ; you are now left without a parent.
Tomorrow morning closes my earthly seenes. You have to bear up under the most
tremendous ordeal that the mind of female sensibihty ever endured. But I have the
consolation to beheve, that your fortitude is equal to every contingency and event of
human Ufe ; without the exercise of such sentiments, existence would scarcely be a
blessing. I leave you now orphans under the protection, I trust, of my relations and
personal friends. I particularly commend you to a great friend of your mother, Mrs.
Woodruff. Mr. Wiley wiU no doubt take much interest in your welfare. I write from
a gloomy cell, lying upon a bed of straw; the guard will soon call for the light, and
I must close. Since my sentence, I could not procure materials for writing, till this late
hour of my existence, which have just been furnished me by an officer of the garrison,
by direction of the sheriff. Present me kindly to kindred and friends. I cannot dis-
criminate ; so farewell, my dear children.
Your affectionate father,
Dorrephus Abbey.
To AmeUa Augusta and Arabella Abbey.
I slept soundly and quietly last night; I now feel as though I could meet the event
with composure. The guard has not yet called.

Westminster^ Abbey and his father before him have kept shop on Front Street since
the oldest mariner who guides his ship into New York harbor can remember.
For over eighty years, says the New York Mail, the "Westminster Abbey" sign has
blistered in sunshine and flapped in storm. On all sides of the shop sit, lean and tumble,
the most remarkable assortment of wares ever assembled on laud or sea.
There is everything from a paper of needles to a sheet anchor. Overalls, bisque orna-
ments, andirons, neckties, silver pitchers, writing paper, army blankets, Roman swords,
pearl brooches, paintings, camping outfits, opera glasses, bottles with ships in them,
teething rings, prayer books, oilskins, jewelry, cannon balls, muskets and cold cream.
"I'm looking for Mr. Abbey."
"I'm Westminstei'," said a man with a grizzled gray mustache, merry brown eyes and
a crippled foot, looking up from a cluttered desk. "Come right in and look around."
"But I came to ask about that offer of Coney Island for $500."
Westminster chuckled. "Ho, ho ! WeU, it was a fact all right. Fifty-nine years ago,"
he went on, making some subtractions on the back of an envelope, "my dad was asked
to buy the whole of Coney for $500. The very spot where the frankfurtei's are sizzling
and the whirligigs are spinning and the bathhouse sharks are holding folks up and the
sandgrabbers are charging real money for a look at the ocean !
"Father couldn't see any use buying a wind-swept, snipe-breeding sandy waste like
that ! Nobody went down there except to shoot birds once in a while. New York had
less than 500,000 people in it.
"There wasn't any immigration to speak of. Nobody dreamed the town would grow
to millions of population. And nobody wanted Coney THEN!"
The purchase of Coney was not the only wealth-weighted suggestion that was given
gratis to the Westminster Abbey family.
Sixth Generation 191
The grandfather of the present Westminster lived with his good wife up in Putnam
County. Wife was an excellent woman, but fussy about her housekeeping. When a
certain poor fur trader used to drop into the Abbey farmhouse, Gran'ma would call out:
"Is that that man Astor again? If he stays here, he'll have to take his meals in the
outhouse and sleep in the barn." And John Jacob Astor, trapper and trader, had to
abide by Ma Abbey's decision.
He took it in good part, however, quite understandingly, and often told Grandfather
Abbey that if he'd sell out his holdings in upstate land and buy lots in the little growing
town of New York, he'd be glad of it some day.

479. GEORGE WALDO' ABBE, sou of Moses Cleveland'^ and Talitha
(Waldo) Abbe, born in Ashford, "Windham County, Conn., October 20, 1811;
died at his residence, 32 East 20th Street, New York City, September 25, 1879.
He lived in or near Windham until his fourteenth year, when he went to New
York City and entered the employ of his cousin, Giles Taintor, a prosperous
dry-goods merchant, and resided in the family of his uncle, George Abbe, who
was at that time at the head of the Union Transportation Company, and subse-
qucnth', w^itli the family of another uncle, Samuel Waldo, the portrait painter.
About 1835 he engaged independently in the dry-goods business iinder the
name of Williams, Camp and Abbe. After the crisis of 1857-8, Mr. Abbe and
his firm settled honorably with their creditors and later paid all claims in
full, but thereafter he was engaged as a commission merchant and broker for
the remainder of his life.
He was especially prominent in a nmnber of charitable organizations. For
forty years he was an officer in the New York Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor. He was one of the managers of the Hospital for the
Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled, and was one of the governors of the
New York Hospital. He took an active interest in educational matters and
at the time of his death was an Inspector of Public Schools for the Eighteenth
Ward.
Mr. Abbe was a prominent worker among the Baptists, was a deacon at the
Madison Avenue Baptist Church, vice-president of Madison University (Baptist),
and one of the founders of tlie American Bible Union. His whole life was
silent in active work among the poor in the hospitals and in the chui'ch. He
was a strong abolitionist, and when the war broke oiit, not only oi:)posed seces-
sion, but subscribed liberally for the outfit of our soldiers.
Married in New York City, January 19, 1837, CHARLOTTE COLGATE, born
in New York City, March 23, 1817; died in New York City, February 19, 1885;
buried with her husband, in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn. She was the
daughter of Bowles and Lourina (Townsend) Colgate. Bowles Colgate was born
in Slioreham, Kent, England, son of Robert and Sarah (Bowles) Colgate (who
were married in Kent about 1740), and with his brother, William, founded
the firm of the Colgate Soap Companj^ in 1806. Robert and Sarah (Bowles)
Colgate were leaders among the Baptists and dissenters, and were from families
that had been with the Pilgrims at Leyden in 1610-20. Robert died about
1805 and his wife about 1845. Both were noted for strong characteristics that
marked the children, notably the eldest daughter, Maria, and the eldest son,
William. Among their grandchildren, perhaps the oldest son of William, James
Bronson Colgate, and Charlotte, daughter of Bowles, preserved most perfectly
the family peculiarities and traits that had persisted unchanged for three or
four centuries; nor were these changed to any important extent during the
succeeding generations. Charlotte Colgate was one of the early pupils of Mrs.
Greene's school in New York City, a school that recently celebrated its centen-
nial of prosperity and wide influence. Lourina Townsend was the daughter
of Gilbert and Abigail (Mead) Townsend and the granddaughter of John and
Jemima (Travis) Townsend of Dutchess County, N. Y.

He had a common school education and entered the first year of High School.
At the age of twenty-two, he enlisted, September 27, 1862, in Company B,
128th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served most of his time for
three years in the bakery at Johnson's Island. During the time he made two
trips down the Mississippi with prisoners. He was honorably discharged June
9, 1865. At the close of the war, Horace Abbe, with his brothers, Norman,
George, and John, invested their earnings in three sections of Michigan timber,
and at the same time took charge of their father's farm of 300 acres east of
Elyria. After about two years they dissolved partnership and Horace and
Norman located on the old homestead. In 1873 they bought the adjoining farai
which was the original location of Thomas Aston, Mrs. Horace Abbe's father.
These farms were managed by them until the death of Norman, when the
property was sold and Horace moved to El^n^ia. In 1879 Mr. Abbe made a trip
to England to import Hereford cattle and Cotswold sheep and they were known
over the United States for many years as breeders of these varieties. The
two brothers were so closely associated in business and other ways that the
death of Norman was a serious loss to Horace and his health failed rapidly,
with accompanying depression of spirits. He ended his life during a period
of depression. He and his family are members of the Episcopal Church.

Hereford cattle and fourteen sheep, besides two tons of luggage.

in Oppenheim, Fulton Countj^, N, Y., son of Peter and Mary (Rarrick) Mosher;
died January 15, 1875. He was a descendant of Ensign Hugh Mosher, who
settled in Salem about 1636; was a friend of Roger Williams and followed him
to Rhode Island, settling in Westerly. Ephraim Mosher was one of the fore-
men of a pioneer construction gang on the Erie Canal between St. Johnsville
and Buffalo, and later steered the first canal boat between Lockport and
Brockport. It was upon his suggestion that Governor Clinton decided upon the
plan of having a row of cannon placed within "hearing distance" apart
across the state, between New York and Buffalo, to flash the news of the com-
pletion of the great enterj^rise. Mosher accompanied Governor Clinton's his-
toric boat, departing from Buffalo at 10 A. M., the morning of October 26,
1825, leaving the boat at Little Falls, whence he returned the same day with
a cargo of household goods, the first boat-load of merchandise to reach Buffalo
from the eastern part of the state over the canal. The story goes that this
first boat-load of household goods went to Chautauqua County, where Mosher
settled near Worksburg.
He married (1) Maria Helmick, who was the mother of four children: Cath-
erine, Margaret, Ephraim, and Ezra.

610. HENRY GILBERT" ABBEY, son of Seth Alden^ and Mercy (Hunt)
Abbey, born in Watertown, N. Y., November 20, 1821; died in Cleveland, Ohio,
June 18, 1887. He studied law and became a practicing P:ttorney.
Ui^on the death of the father of the late Leonard Case, founder of the Case
School of Applied Science in Cleveland, Mr. Case found it necessary to call
to his assistance Mr. Abbey as his general manager and confidential agent.
The Case estate was of such a varied character that it demanded negotiations
with all kinds of men and corporations and it required a verj^ high order of
administrative ability in its confidential agent. The publication of the Western
Reserve and Northern Ohio Historical Society speaks in words of praise for
Mr. Abbey's association with the work:
Mr. Abbey relieved Mr. Case of all business cares and was most eminently qualified for
the duties which he had been called to undertake. He had lived in Cleveland from his
infancy and united great strength of mind to a thorough study of the law, long experience
in business, knowledge of the world and cultivated taste in literature.
He had been a practicing lawyer in Milwaukee, clerk of Wisconsin House of Repre-
sentatives, a pioneer for gold in 1849 in California ; he had "rocked the cradle" on the
sands of the Sacramento and Klamath Rivers, and had brought back to Cleveland the
net results — some gold dust and a full stock of experience. He had settled down to sober
hard work in his profession, had been much trusted as a master commissioner, referee
and administrator of estates, and was a thoroughly equipped and able coadjutor of aU
the projects and purposes of Mr. Case in relation to the property, and all other matters
requiring counsel, labor and management."
Henry Gilbert Abbey married in Trinity Church, Cleveland, September 28,
1859, AMELIA MATHILDE JOHNSTONE, born in Cleveland, January 22,
1838; died at Setauket, N. Y., September 20, 1912. She was the daughter of
Dr. Robert and Mary (Taylor) Johnston. Dr. Johnston was descended from
a Scotch family long established in the north of Ireland and came with his
mother to Cleveland in 1831.

611. EDWIN ALDEN' ABBEY, son of Seth Alden« and Mercy (Hunt)
Abbey, born in Watertown, N. Y., December 9, 1823; died at Corvallis, Ore.,
January 15, 1893; buried in Newton Cemetery. In 1832 with his parents he
removed to Cleveland, Ohio, where he resided until 1844, when he went south
and was employed on the Mississippi River. In the month of September, 1846,
he sailed from Ncw^ Orleans to Mexico, being attached to the quartermaster's
department in the divisions of Generals Wool and Taylor. Having served until
near the close of the war, he accompanied Collins to Chihuahua, with despatches
to General Price to evacuate that portion of the countrj^, which duty being
performed, he rejoined the army on the line of march to Santa Fe, and was
destined to accompany Company I, First Dragoons, as wagon master. He
was thus engaged witli that corps until 1851. Mr. Abbey then went overland,
traveling as far as Fort Laramie w^ith the famous Kit Carson, and arrived in
Benton County, Oregon, in the fall of that year. He located his claim about
four miles from what was then Marysville, now Corvallis, and at once set to
farming. In 1856, with two companions, Mr. Abbey made the pioneer journey
to Yaquima Bay, on his part a trip of simple pleasure and adventure. There
were no roads, and Phil Sheridan, then a Lieutenant, was having his men cut
a trail over the mountains to lead from the reservation to civilization. Mr.
Abbey, following the trails, made Yaquima Bay about two miles from its
mouth. At that time there was not a single resident in that part of the
country. In 1862 he took up his residence in Corvallis, remaining there for
three years. He then took up a large tract of land in Yaquima, near Elk City,
about twenty-two miles from Newport, which he still owned at the time of his
death.
One of his nephews writes, ''Uncle Edwin never returned to the east until
1889. He was a most delightful character and I recall vividly his account of
a night ride with despatches in the Mexican War in the moonlight, many times
shot at but never hit. He met his wife in the journey across the plains. ' '

lorovoeation to anyone whatever, but by his popularity and holding the offices
of postmaster and United States land commissioner and being a northern
man, he excited the jealousy of an insensible gang of Florida terrorists and
was shot by them in the back from ambush. His brother spent some time in
Sara Sota ferreting out the murderers and had them brought to justice.

789. EDWIN AUSTINS ABBEY, son of William Maxwell^ and Margery
Ann (Kiple) Abbey, born in Philadelphia, Pa., April 1, 1852; died in England,
July 31, 1911.
Married in New York City, April 22, 1890, MARY GERTRUDE MEAD, born
in Torquay, Devonshire, England, March 15, 1851, daughter of Frederick and
Mary E. (Scribner) Mead. She was graduated from Vassar College in 1870,
studied in Berlin, J881-2, and in Paris, 1883-4. They had no children.
The following is for the most part made up from a most appreciative article in
the Craftsman of October, 1911, by Louis A. Holman :
Born in Philadelphia eight years before the Civil War broke out, Abbey was in school
at the time when men's thoughts were chiefly on the great struggle. His two years' art
training were over before the paralyzing effect of war had passed. He was in a very real
sense a self-made man, as severe a critic of his own work and as exacting as any master
could have been. He, however, always gave the credit for his success to his merchant
grandfather, a man of fine artistic feeling, who like Abbey's own father spent many a
day at his easel. A friend who called on Abbey while he was at work on the coronation
picture has recently recalled some of the conversation.
"Abbey," said the caller, "it is a great work and a great chance ; but teU me, how did
you get it?"
"Through my grandfather," said Abbey.
"I see by the papers that you are also to decorate the new Capitol of Pennsylvania.
Did your grandfather get that commission for you too?"
And Abbey gravely replied : "If I do the work he will be the cause."
There is a photograph of Abbey taken when he was eight years old. With dreamy
unconsciousness he had posed himself at a table, not with a toy but with paper and pencil.
When he was but fourteen, it is said, "Oliver Optic's Magazine for Boys and Girls"
published a rebus of his designing. He began drawing on wood for a wood engraver when
he was sixteen. A sketch called "The First Thanksgiving" submitted to Harper's
Magazine was accepted. This triumph eventually resulted in 1871 in his joining the stafE
of that magazine. In the July Harper's of 1871 there is a poem accompanied by a number
of illustrations done by several of the staff. Among them is one signed by Abbey. In
1873 he was Harper's humorous artist, and illustrated the "Editor's Drawer."
In 1878 he went to England to make the Herrick illustrations, and, except for short
visits, he never returned to America. Englishmen soon forgot that this genial, brilliant
man was a foreigner, possibly because he was supremely happy in the land of his adoption.
He was everywhere held in high favor, and honors showered upon him. He became one
of a notable group of American artists who found in England a sympathetic artistic
environment. Abbey materially aided in increasing the esteem in which his fellow
countrymen were held. There is a story that once he tried to break away from the
witchery of the picturesque country of England, but after his household goods had reached
America he weakened and the unpacking was not done until they got back to England.
At Broadway in Worcestershire, Abbey found friends and there he lingered, gathering
material for his drawings. A friend of his said that in the wonderful garden of RusseU
House, the home of Frank Millet, he had often seen, on the same morning, each painting
from his own model. Abbey, Sargent, Miller, Alma-Tadema and Alfred Parsons. It was
at hospitable Russell House that Abbey first met Miss Mary Gertrude Mead of New York,
who later became his wife. Here, too, he had the good fortune to meet Alfred Parsons,
and Alfred Parsons had the still better fortune to meet Abbey. Then and there began
that wonderful collaboration, the result of which for many a year charmed the artistic
world.
Successful, from every point of view, as were the illustrations for Herrick, and Gold-
smith, and Shakespeare, he yet longed to be a beginner in other fields of art, not that he

might make a fortune or win applause, but that he might have the joy of wandering in a
new region. He bought an ancient house at Fairford, Gloucestershire, some fifty miles
south of Broadway. Here he built a large studio and entered the lists as a painter of
English romance and history.
In 1891 he began the famous "Holy Grail," a series for the Boston Public Library.
Five years later his "Richard, Duke of Gloucester and the Lady Anne" won him his
A.R.A. In two more years he became a full Academician. The work, however, which
brought him his greatest recognition in England was his painting of the coronation of
Edward the Seventh, "by command" of the king. In the State Capitol at Harrisburg,
Pa., are eight murals, of such widely different character, being wholly symbolic subjects
treated in a modern manner, that he was compelled to leave the well-worn road and blaze
out a new one.
He had essayed work in one province after another : illustration ; pen and wash
drawings ; paintings, water color, pastel and oil ; mural decoration, historic and symbolic.
He will hold his place as one of America's foremost colorists, as one of her rarest drafts-
men, as the most poetic painter of mediaeval subjects in his time, and as the greatest
illustrator that America has yet produced.
Close student and hard worker as Abbey proved himself, he found time for friends and
for play. There probably never lived an American artist who had a greater host of
friends. So often after his death were heard the words, "Abbey was a most lovable man."
He was the soul of generosity, not only in material things, but in his sketches and draw-
ings and in the preparation and care he exercised in connection with his mural decora-
tions. He spent much more than his compensation on models and costumes and research
work that the paintings might be worthy the place they were to occupy.
Artists say that when he criticised their work he always searched for something
encouraging to say. He was instinctively refined, with a manner that would have won
him his way into palaces even if he had started life as a hod-carrier. He never considered
himself an expatriate, never lost his American accent or manner. He had a keen love
for all clean, good sport, and had the devotion of an American boy for baseball. As he
could not in England bring together enough men to play this game, he took up cricket
as a substitute, had a ground' prepared at his Gloucestershire house, and himself became
president of the club.
Perhaps there was nothing about him that made such a universal appeal as his alert
sense of humor. His nickname in the old New York days was "Chestnut," an appellation
derived from a favorite story which he could relate in a most inimitable way. The
Chestnut Story was one of those interminable, pointless, humbug narratives, eternally
getting to the point and never arriving there ; exciting vast interest and calculation in
regard to the chestnuts on a certain tree ; promising a rich and racy solution in the
very next sentence ; straying off into episodes that baffled the ear and disappointed the
hope. The tale could be prolonged by him when he was at his best for a good part of an
hour, without ever releasing the attention or satisfying the expectation. English literary
men began to use the title in their writing as a type of an endless or unsatisfactory yarn,
and the word Chestnut, crossing the sea, returned again to the land of its birth and
became the accepted definition of what is tedious, old and interminable.

WELLINGTON ABBEY, son of Nathaniel and Mary (Nugent) Abbey, born in
Port Hope, Ontario, Canada, April 22, 1840; died in Fond du Lac, Wis., Sep-
tember 23, 1901. As his father died when he was but a child, he was early
thrown iipon his OAvn resources and from the time lie was fifteen he was depend-
ent on his own efforts. While his early education was limited, lie became a
well-informed man due to his retentive memory and his constant habits of study.
In his home were always found the leading papers and periodicals and a well-
equipped library. With the family, he came from Canada to Sheboygan, Wis.,
in 1849. In 1851, his mother with the other children returned to Canada and
Wellington removed to Fond du Lac County, where he afterward resided with the
exception of two years, 1859 to 1861, which he spent with his mother in Canada.
Returning to Wisconsin, he enlisted December 9, 1861, in Company A, 14th
Wisconsin Infantry. After a winter in camp, the regiment was ordered to the
front and participated in the last day of the battle of Shiloh. The day before
the battle of Tupelo the 14th captured the flag of the 17th Mississippi Regiment,
and participated in that battle, when a bullet passed through Mr. Abbey's hat.
The regiment rendered effective service at the battle of Pittsburg, theii proceeded
to Corinth and on to the siege of Vicksburg. During the thickest of the fight,
Mr. Abbey saw his cousin, Charles Abbey, lying w^ounded, a ball having passed
through his right thigh. He raised him up in an effort to relieve him, and just
at that moment a ball, imdoubtedly aimed at Wellington, struck Charles and
pierced him through the heart.

Extract from Major General Robertson's Letter to His Excellency General
Carleton vizt. :
New York 13th Feby. 1777.
Mr. Samuel WiUis has had General Gage's commission some years as Barrack Master
at lUinois and Abraham Abbey as Barrack Master at Detroit. They appeared as such in
all the General Returns. The first has been employed as my Clerk, and the other an old
faithful serjt. had leave to go to Ireland for some months ; both of them hired proper
Deputies. I find from a letter of Mr. Meyrick, that they are off the List from the time
that General Gage went home, I suspect that this arises from their not appearing on the
Returns after October 1775. Let me assure you that they are both of merit, &
ruined if turned out of an office. Shoukl this have arose from an undesigned Omission,
let me beg you wiU have the goodness to order the error in the Returns to be explained,
and set right in the next. If you meant they should be struck off because not present,
suffer me to assure you that they are not at fault, & that their being replaced will be a
favor I should receive with gratitude, they are men who have served weU, and whom I
should be mortified much, if not able by your favor to protect.

Rev. John Abbey was for a long time secretary of the agricultural department
of the Church of England Temperance Society, and published many pamphlets
and articles on the subject of temperance. In a letter from him, dated, Oxford
House, 69 Comerach Road, West Kensington, S. W., Sept. 2, 1887, he says:
"I think there is no doubt that, in very early times, the family was associated
with the religious houses and I should judge that we derived our name from them.
Those engaged at or in the Abbey might easily be called the Abbies, or the people
of, or from, the Abbey. There are not many of that name of Abbey in the
eountiy. I do not think there are a dozen in all London, and only four among
the whole body of the clergy in the United Kingdom, I cannot trace the name
back to the original stem. The name is most common in Yorkshire at a small
town called Selby, aboiit twelve or fifteen miles south of York. I was born within
seven miles of York. A number of our friends went out to America many years
ago. Those that I have known bearing our name have either been engaged in
trade or agriculture."
A letter from the Rev. C. J. Abbey, Checkendon, near Reading, Berkshire,
a distinguished scholar and author, dated Feb. 16, 1888, says: "I had a few
notes relative to the Abbeys, but nothing about the family pre\'ious to 1750.
I expect it had long been settled in Northamptonshire and other midland
counties, chiefly as respectable farmers. The few notes I refer to were made
some sixty years ago by an uncle who was then a Major in the army. I had
another uncle at the siege of Bergen op Zoon, a young officer who was killed on a
28

scaling ladder. Another of my uncles, also an Abbey, was a physician at the
Russian Court. ' '

Russia, under the supervision of Daniel Wheeler, to cultivate some boggy land
at a place called ShushaiTy. He and his wife are buried there but it is no
settlement. Matthew Abbey had three sons, Joseph, George, William. Joseph
and his family all died before 1912. George had no family. William Abbey died
in 1882, leaving five sons, all living in Russia in 1912; Matthew, John, Alfred,
Walter, and William. His wife Eleanor was living at Villa Strauch, Kuokala,
Finland, in 1912, aged 88. William was a manufacturer of agricultural imple-
ments in 1866. The pastor of the British-American Church, St. Petersburg,
Russia, in May, 1912, reported the following Abbey records on the books of that
church : Matthew Abbey admitted to membership. May, 1835 ; Hannah Abbey,
1839; Mr. and Mrs. George Abbey, 1840; Joseph Abbey, 1851; William Abbey,
1872. Mrs. Eleanor Abbey was the oldest member of the church in 1912.
Ernst Abbe, a distinguished authority on practical optics, to wliom astro-
nomical science is in no small measure indebted, was born in Eisenach, Germany,
Jan. 23, 1840, the son of an employee in a textile factory; died in 1905. He
pursued the university courses at Jena, 1857-9, and at Gottingen, 1859-61. At
the latter university he took his degree with a thesis on the mechanical theory
of heat. In 1863 he began teaching at Jena. For several years he assisted
Carl Zeiss, the mechanician at the Jena University, in his efforts to improve the
microscope, and in 1875, became the silent partner in the firm of Zeiss & Com-
pany. He held the chair of theoretical physics and astronomy, and was director
of the observatory until 1889, when, at his own request, he was relieved and
delivered only occasional lectures. On the death of Carl Zeiss in 1886, he
became the sole owner of the famous Zeiss oj^tical works, and might have acquired
a great fortune, but his interest in his fellow-men led him, in 1891, to cede his
rights as owner to a cooperative society, known as the Carl Zeiss Stiftung, the
story of which has been set forth most interestingly in a pamphlet by Professor
Auerbach of Jena. It has been considered the most unique and the most suc-
cessful combination of commercial and scientific endeavor that has ever been
attempted. Ernst Abbe was married in 1871 to the daughter of one of the pro-
fessors at the University of Jena, and had two daughters.

APPENDIX
CLEVELAND ABBE, 1838-1916
(From the Monthly Weather Revietc, for September, 1916.)
Professor Clevelaud Abbe died about 4 A. M. on October 28, 1916. He had
been in ill health since June 4, 1915, when he was stricken by a paralysis of the
right side, from which he had largely recovered. Since July, 1916, however, he
had suffered from a malignant degeneration of a mole, which rapidly became
so extensive as to prevent his resting comfortably in other than one position.
The resultant irritation and great loss of sleep, together with the restricted diet
imposed by the conditions of his paralysis, drained his strength. He returned
from Portland, Maine, where he had spent the summer of 1916, about the middle
of September and in a greatly weakened condition. For a few days he enjoj^ed
the freedom of his home, but soon retired to the room which he kept until the
end. Mentally but little change was observable, and even on the afternoon of
October 25 he dictated a letter to the Secretary of the Smithsonian concerning
the details of publication of a paper on meteors.
Thus passes an enthusiastic promoter of international good will; a devoted
son of Science who api^reciated and rejoiced in all advances in any of her many
fields; a meteorologist of broad and deep scholarship, Avhose enthusiasm was
an inspiration and encouragement to all about him and whose zeal did not flag
in the very hour of death; a patriot whose lifelong service to the welfare of
his country fully deserved the unusual courtesy shown by the half-masted flags
on the Department of Agriculture and the Weather Bureau on the day he was
laid to rest.
SYMONS MEMORIAL MEDAL FOR 1912
The Symons Memorial Gold Medal, which is awarded biennially by the Royal
Meteorological Society of England, was presented to Professor Cleveland Abbe
at the annual general meeting on January 17, 1912. We reprint the official report
of the proceedings as published in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteoro-
logical Society, London, 1912, 38 :156-7.
Presentation of the Symons Memorial Gold Medal
The President [Dr. H. N. Dickson] said that it now fell to him to perform one of the
most pleasant duties connected -nath his oiBce, the presentation of the Symons Gold
Medal. He would ask Prof. Cleveland Abbe to accept this medal, but the secretary would
first read the extract from the minutes of the council concerning this award.
The Secretary read the following extract from the minutes of the council meeting of
November 15, 1911 :
"Prof. Cleveland Abbe was born on December 3rd, 1838, at New York. He began
active scientific work as a mathematical lecturer, but early in the sixties he joined the
U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. He was resident at Pulkowa, 1864-1866, which was
then under the Directorship of the younger Struve. Abbe returned to the United States
and became assistant at the U. S. Naval Observatory. In 1868 he was appointed Director
of the observatory at Cincinnati, into which he infused new life. He joined the Weather
Service of the United States in 1871 and it is in connection with that organization that
his great life work has been performed.
"Apart from a large amount of official work, evidence of which may be found in the
pubMcations of the Weather Bureau, he is notable mainly for: (1) his collection of
papers on the Mechanics of the Earth's Atmosphere, which are today indispensable in
440 Appendix
work on the dynamics of meteorology. Volume I was issued in 1891 and Volume II in
1908 [issued by the Smithsonian Institution in 1910] ; (2) his treatise on Meteorological
Apparatus and Methods issued in 1888. This is a historical and practical account to
which even the meteorologist of the twentieth century may turn for instruction; (3) his
Preparatory Studies for Deductive Methods in Storm and Weather Predictions, issued in
1890; (4) his articles on Meteorology in the Encyclopsedia Britannica, which are no
doubt well known to all Fellows of the Society.
"Prof. Abbe was one of the first to realize the importance of experimental investiga-
tions of atmospheric radiation, and it was largely due to his enterprise that the well known
researches of Hutchins and Pearson were undertaken. The importance of this work has
been recently emphasized by its application to the explanation of the isothermal condi-
tions of the upper atmosphere. Prof. Abbe has contributed therefore to instrumental,
statistical, dynamical, and thermodynamical meteorology, and forecasting. He has more-
over, played throughout, the part, not only of an active contributor, but also of a leader
w^ho drew others into the battle and pointed out the paths along which attacks might be
successful.
"He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, a member of the National Academy
[of Sciences of the United States], and an Honorary Fellow of our own Society."
The President then said :
"Professor Abbe, we have listened to the statement of the Secretary setting forth the
reasons which have led the Council to award you the Symons Gold Medal on this
occasion. I do not think it is necessary or desirable to add to what has already been
stated by any further expansion of the points that have been set forth. Every member
of the Society is sensible of his indebtedness to the work which you have done in the
past in connection with our science. I may perhaps be permitted to add on behalf of
those members of the Society who have had the privilege of becoming personally
acquainted with you, our sense of the very great debt we owe to you for personal
encouragement. I remember the occasion some five and twenty years ago, on which I
came a raw and budding meteorologist to Washington, and had the pri\alege of enjoying
the hospitality which you so generously offered to those working in the subject, and I
remember the strong stimulus which I received from you at that time. There are very
many other meteorologists who must be conscious of owing to you a similar debt. It
gives me very great pleasure. Sir, to offer you, on behalf of the Society, this Gold Medal."
Professor Cleveland Abbe said that it gave him the greatest pleasure to have his name
associated with that of their dear friend and colleague George James Symons. He could
not express his emotion but could only thank them most sincerely for the honor they had
conferred on him in awarding him the medal. This event wiU always be to him a
stimulus to future labors. They were all brothers in science and he was greatly touched
to hear the account read by the secretary that they had so closely watched his career
and labors in a science of which they had not yet reached the end.
REPRINT FROM THE MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW, APRIL, 1916
MARCELLUS HARTLEY MEMORIAL MEDAL, 1916
On April 18, 1916, the National Academy of Sciences, meeting at Washington,
D. C, awarded a Marcellus Hartley medal "for eminence in the application of
science to the public welfare" to Prof. Cleveland Abbe in recognition of his
sei-viees in connection with the foundation and organization of the United States
Weather Bureau. The nominating speech was made by Prof. William Morris
Davis, and the acceptance was by Prof. Charles Frederick Marvin for Prof. Abbe,
who was absent on account of ill health.
The award of the Hartley medal to Cleveland Abbe is the first time this medal
has gone to one of the members of tlie National Academy of Sciences.
By tlie courtesy of the National Academy of Sciences it is possible to publish
here the remarks made on the occasion, remarks of historic value as indicating
the character of the medallist and also as recording some little-known details in
the history of the Weather Bureau. — C. A., jr.
Remarks by William Mobeis Davis
Among the gratifying duties of the National Academy of Sciences is that of awarding
cei'tain medals in recognition of notable achievement. One of our medals, founded by a
Appendix 441
daughter in memory of her father, MarccUus Hartley, of New York, is to be given for
"eminence in the application of science to the public welfare." I am glad, Mr. President,
that this medal is awarded for eminence in the application of science, for if it were to be
awarded for j)rominence, it never could have been given to a man so modest, so retiring,
so diffident, as Cleveland Abbe. We all have had a warm pleasure in voting to approve
the discernment of our committee in nominating this gentle man, who has so long
labored quietly, without ostentation, never intruding himself upon public notice for the
display of his learning, to be the recipient of a medal for real eminence in the work that
he has done for his country's good.
It is singular and regrettable that, although we have a large and varied assortment
of weather, sometimes, indeed, an oversupply of it, spread across the continent from
ocean to ocean, we have had but few weather men — meteorologists — of high standing.
The devotees of the subject have too often perpetuated an unscientific, astrological habit
of mind, elsewhere extinct. Only about six of them have attained academic rank,
Redfield and Espy were contemporaries and competitors in the first half of the nineteenth
century — Redfield, a careful observer and a cautious theorizer, a true inductive phi-
losopher, to whom the woi'ld owes the first demonstration that West Indian hurricanes
are gigantic whirlwinds ; Espy, an equally good observer but a bolder theorizer, whose
keen deductions regarding atmospheric convection and the associated adiabatic changes
of temperature in air currents having a vertical component excited less admiration in our
own then unlearned country than in more learned countries abroad. The work of these
eminent Americans was done before the formation of the National Academy, but Redfield
was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston, and Espy of
the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia.
Long before their time lived the most famous of all American meteorologists, Benjamin
Franklin, who not only established the identity of lightning and electricity about the
middle of the eighteenth century, but proved at a somewhat earlier date that our north-
east storms come from the southwest, and thus laid the basis of modern weather predic-
tions. His name is stiU worthily celebrated every year by the famous academic society
that he founded.
Redfield and Espy were followed in the second half of their century by Loomis and
Ferrel, in whom the contrasts of the two earlier masters were repeated. They were both
members of this Academy. Like Redfield, Loomis was faithfully inductive ; it was he
who first analyzed and generalized the great body of observations that were recorded on
the early weather maps of the Signal Service. He thus established a large number of
values regarding the beha\dor of winds, the changes of temperature, and the fall of rain
or snow in the traveling areas of high and low pressure that sweep eastward through
the Temperate Zone ; and in this fundamental work he has not, I regret to say, as
yet been followed by a worthy successor. Like Espy, Ferrel was inventively deductive ;
he directed his extraordinary native powers of mathematical analysis to such problems
as the general circulation of the atmosphere and the vortical currents of cyclones and
tornadoes, and made an enduring mark upon them. The autobiography of this self-taught
farmer's boy is a touching story of emerging genius.
During an intermediate period Maury systematized the reduction of meteorological
observations at sea ; Joseph Henry did much to encourage systematic meteorological
observation on land ; and Coffin, utilizing all available records from lands and seas,
compiled his great work on the Winds of the Globe ; but the impress of these three men
on the scientfic interpretation of atmospheric phenomena was not so profound as that of
Redfield and Espy before them or of Loomis and Ferrel after them.
Cleveland Abbe was for a time the academic contemporary of the last two named, as
he is now almost their solitary meteorological successor in this country ; for of others,
we have lost Lawrence Rotch, founder and director of that admirable institution, the
Blue HiU Meteorological Observatory, near Boston, by his untimely death four years ago.
It is the practical tui-n which Abbe gave to his scientific studies nearly 50 years ago
that we celebrate to-night, for it was then, when he was a young man in Cincinnati in
1868, that he first put into execution in this country a scheme of daily weather prediction,
based upon the telegraphic concentration of widespread synchronous observations. Would
that he could be with us this evening to tell the story of that novel undertaking, but in
his absence I may perhaps advert to certain matters which might embarrass him were
he with us. His private enterprise was soon superseded by the establishment of a national
meteorological bureau at the hands of Gen. A. J. Myer, Chief Signal Officer of the Army ;
and thereupon Abbe was brought to Washington as the one expert of the country qualified
to set the new service on its scientific feet. Here for all these years since 1870, first
in the War Department, later in the Department of Agriculture, he has been the senior
scientific adviser of the Weather Ser^ace, and thus his influence in practical meteorology
over the length and breadth of our land has been enormous. Although his hand has
taken its turn with others at the exacting duty of daily prediction and has carried on
its assigned share of the over-great volume of routine tasks that are conventionally cus-
4:4$i Appendix
tomary in meteorological institutions, his heart has never ceased to turn to or to yearn
for the more original efforts of scientific investigation. More characteristic of the man
than his work in such necessary matters as the construction of tables for the daily
routine of reducing barometric observations to the level of the sea, or the preparation
of instructions for reducing the daily routine of meteorological duties to the level of
the observer, was his translation of several difficult mathematical memoirs on the
circulation of the atmosphere, published and distributed by the Smithsonian Institution,
out of which I fancy he had greater enjoyment than anyone else — though that is not
saying much. Evidently enough, therefore, the one great practical scheme of daily
weather prediction, tliat has made him deservedly eminent in the application of science
to the public welfare, did not divert his mind from unpractical scientific research. He has
always willingly turned his attention to new problems and become happily engrossed in
them when opportunity offered, yet he has ever been ready to interrupt his work and
I fear that his scientific spirit has not at all times been happy under the regulations that
are presumably appropriate in a large governmental bureau, and that Ms sensitive nature
has sometimes been bruised by the arbitrary discipline of wholesale oflicial serxdce. But
his is a buoyant disposition, and cheerfulness has long been his dominant quality.
We all regret his absence this evening. As he can not be with us in the flesh, let us
draw him forth in spirit from his self-effacing retirement ; let us see in imagination the
genuine surprise that he would feel on learning of our action in selecting him for a high
distinction ; let us through our memory of other years enjoy the genial smile with which
he would return our greeting. Mr. President, it is a great pleasure most cordially to
present hi absentia Prof. Cleveland Abbe, that he may receive from you, through the hands
of his former pupil, his present superior officer and his constant friend, the Chief of the
Weather Bureau [Charles Frederick Marvin], the medal which he so richly deserves.
Remarks by Prof. C. F. Marvin
Mr. President, members, and guests of the National Academy :
Words fail me to speak fully of my deep feeling on this occasion. I can not tell how
much I appreciate this great privilege and honor that devolves upon me in accepting this
medal for Prof. Abbe, with whom I have been intimately associated for more than 30
years. During this time we have worked side by side, so to speak, and I have learned
not only to hold him in the greatest esteem because of his eminent work in science, but
also to love him dearly because of those modest, gentle, and beautiful qualities of
character that were just now set out in such touching fashion by Prof. Davis. His
whole life and energies have been devoted to the advancement of the science of meteor-
ology ; he has thought only of its problems and how he could encourage and induce
others to unravel its perplexities, and has never given any thought to himself. These
characteristics, it seems to me, add greatly to the eminence Prof. Abbe has attained, the
eminence unsought by himself but bountifully bestowed upon him by others. Only a short
time ago, when it was learned that he had been awarded this medal and he had requested
me to receive it for him, I asked him to tell me what to say for him in acceptance.
Without a moment's hesitation he replied : "Oh, they do too much for me, they must
not forget Henry, Espy, Ferrel, Lapham, and others."
I am only an humble worker in the domain of science and I could never hope to
deserve so great an honor as a medal like this for myself. Therefore this is the greatest
event in my life, and I feel deeply the privilege, and honor of receiving this medal for
Prof. Abbe, whom I love and esteem so highly. Just this morning I received a note from
Prof. Abbe giving an account, in his own words, of his early work leading to the
creation of the weather forecasting service in the United States.
If you will permit me, Mr. President, I should Uke to read what Prof. Abbe says.
It will take but a few minutes and I believe the members of the Academy will be glad
to hear from him.
A SHORT ACCOUNT OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES ATTENDING THE INCEP-
TION OF WEATHER FORECAST WORK BY THE UNITED STATES
By Cleveland Abbe
My boyhood life in New York City had impressed me with the popular ignorance and
also with the great nee^l of something better than local lore and weather proverbs. The
knowledge of the sailors and farmers whom I met seemed to me unsatisfactory. The
popular articles in the New York daily papers, by Merriam, Espy, Joseph Henry, and
others — notably Redfield and Loomis — had by 1857 convinced me that man should and
Appendix 443
must overcome our ignorance of the destructive winds and rains. It was in the summer
of 1857 or 1858 that I read the beginning of the classic article by William Ferrcl in
the Mathematical Monthly. I realized that he had overcome many of the hidden difficul-
ties of theories of storms and winds; from that day he was my guide and authority.
During 1S58-1864, in the practice and study of astronomy with Brunnow at Ann Arbor,
Mich., and Gould at Cambridge, Mass., I was impressed with the unsatisfactory state
of our knowledge of atmospheric refraction. Two years later my experience at Poulkova,
Russia, and at our Naval Observatory, Washington, seemed to justify my conclusion that
astronomers who would improve their meridional measurements must investigate their
local atmospheric conditions more thoroughly and to this end must have numerous sur-
rounding meteorological observations. Hence in my inaugural Cincinnati address of
May 1, 1868, I stated that with a proper system of weather reports the public need of
forecasts could be met and that astronomy could also be benefited.
This suggestion was taken up by Mr. John A. Gano, president of the local chamber
of commerce ; a committee met me, approved my plans, and promised the expenses of a
first trial. I had the total solar eclipse of August 7, 1869, on my hands, but imme-
diately began to arrange for 40 voluntary meteorological correspondents. On my
return from observing the eclipse at Sioux Falls City, I stopped at Chicago and formally
invited the Chicago Board of Trade to join in extending the Cincinnati system to the
Great Lakes, but this invitation was declined by the Chicago Board of Trade. An
editorial in a Chicago evening paper of Monday, August 16, 1869, stated the scientific
basis of our observatory work. I returned at once to Cincinnati, issued the first
number of the Cincinnati Weather Bulletin promptly, as promised, on September 1, 1869 ;
it contained a few observations telegraphed from distant observers and the "probabilities"
for the next day. This bulletin was posted, in my own handwriting, prominently in
the hall of the chamber ; but I soon found below my misspelled "Teusday" a humorous
line by Mr. Davis, the well-known packer: "A bad spell of weather for 'Old
Probs.' " This established my future very popular name "Old Probs."
My forecasts were treated very kindly by all. I had anticipated a slow increase in
accuracy ; I ventured to write my father in New York City "I have started that which
the country wiU not wiUingly let die." I wrote a short note to the New York Times
(or Tribune) telling them how useful we could be to their shipping. On September 3,
1869, I even ventured to offer a daily telegram by the French cable to Le Verrier as
founder of the Bulletin Hebdomadaire de I'Association Scientifique, and who could fully
sympathize with my hopes and plans. He realized the breakers ahead of me better
tiian I. My daily telegram from Milwaukee came from the weU-known Smithsonian
observer and author. Prof. Increase AUen Lapham. He had known and appreciated the
works of Espy, Redfield, Loomis, and others, but he had become absorbed in other
studies ; he now urged the local Milwaukee society to do something for Lake Michigan.
His friends were just about to go to the Richmond meeting of the National Board of
Trade ; there they met William Hooper and John A. Gano. These merchants of Cincinnati
found that they had the same idea as H. E. Paine, of Milwaukee, i. e., that the Federal
Government should develop the Cincinnati enterprise and make it useful to the whole
country. The National Board of Trade indorsed this idea ; Prof. Lapham, of Milwaukee,
drew up some statistics of storms and destruction on the Lakes ; the Hon. Halbei-t E.
Paine prepared Public Resolution No. 9 ; we each put our shoulders to the wheel and
behold on February 9, 1870, the Secretary of War was authorized to carry out this new
duty. I had spent a year in finding stations, voluntary observers, and telegraph facilities ;
every old classmate or friend of progressive meteorology had helped the new idea. The
work had now passed out of my hands. I saw that I must soon go back to the observatory
work that I had undertaken — the rejuvenation of the famous old Cincinnati observatory —
but there was much more to be done. A letter from the Chief Signal Officer, United States
Army, Gen. Albert J. Myer, asked for all possible cooperation. The officials of the Western
Union Telegraph Co. offered the observatory the same free daily weather reports that they
had for 20 years been giving to the Smithsonian Institution and the daily press : so I
continued temporarily to make and pubMsh the Cincinnati Bulletin, but in a much simpler
form and without forecasts. This continued until May 10, 1870, when I was married, and
the preparation of the midnight bulletin passed over to the officials of the local telegraph
office. It was continued in this shape until November, 1870, when the tridaily bulletins
of the Army Signal Service began. With the help of Williams, who was in charge
of the Western Union office, I printed in October, 1869, a code of cipher, and should
have used this code for economy, had not the Joint Resolution of February 9, 1870,
anticipated further reports by my own stations. This code was subsequently greatly
improved by Weather Bureau men, and particularly by Gen. A. W. Greely, and it is
stiU in use.
The manifolded duplicate copies and the printed copies of the daily Cincinnati Observa-
tory Bulletin were distributed until the chamber of commerce no longer needed to
support it ; then Mr. Williams devised a simple form of manifold map that was a great
improvement on my original tabular form of daily reports. This map was soon adopted
444 Appendix
by the Signal Service, but was itself displaced in turn by the present handsome daily
lithographed chart. Without the help of Armstrong and Williams and the new manifold
method patented by J. Jones we could not have promptly responded to the needs of our
friends.
By November, 1870, I had gone to New York and prepared to go as astronomer on
one of the Panama Canal surveys, but I gave this up and should have returned soon
to Cincinnati had I- not, in December, received a letter from Gen. Myer stating that he
wished to see me. My work with him in the Weather Bureau of the Army Signal
Service began January 3, 1871. After a month's practice it was decided that my forecast
would ev-idently more than fill the popular expectations and tridaily publications began
at once. The term "probabilities" then became official, as it had begun in 1869, and in
those days it was appropriate ; but we have long since used and accepted the word
"forecast."
The subsequent development of the service under Gens. Myer, Hazeu, and Greely,
and Profs. Harrington, Moore, and Marvin may be gathered from their special or
annual reports. The service has been greatly favored by the hearty cooperation of many
men of knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm.
TIMOTHY HARLOW ABBE OF ENFIELD (see page 306)
Some years ago Mr. Abbe made an extended collection of records pertaining
to the family history. Many of these records were used in the compilation of the
history of the Enfield branch. He also rendered to the town of Enfield a great
service by devoting his time and thought to the accomplishment of a noble
purpose for the young men of the town.
His daughter, Mrs. James C. Guthrie of Springfield, writes:
In our village the only place where young men could congregate was the general store
and saloon combined. My parents knew the fatal attraction of the place and to counter-
act its influence they fitted up one of our front rooms as a reading room and bade the boys
welcome. The room was always warm, light and clean, and my father encouraged the boys
to study history and current events and to learn to express themselves. He formed a
lyceum and the neighbors were invited in to hear their sons debate the questions of the
day. A deep thinker and forceful speaker himself, he planted in the minds and hearts of
receptive youth the pure thoughts and high ideals that were of untold value in character
building. One of these young men, now a successful physician, said recently, that he
and his brothers and cousins, among whom are lawyers, doctors and successful business
men, felt that they owed a large part of their success in life to the influence and
encouragement of Harlow Abbe.
